Shikhar Dhawan Foundation expands Digital Shiksha initiative to empower close to 2,500 girl students partnering with InnoVen Capital
New Delhi : Shikhar Dhawan Foundation (SDF), with CSR support from InnoVen Capital, has expanded its flagship Digital Shiksha programme to Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya, Tughlakabad Village, one of Delhi’s largest government schools, bringing technology-enabled learning to close to 2,500 girl students.
Guided by the vision of Arjuna Awardee and India cricketer Shikhar Dhawan, the foundation continues to resonate with the Government’s vision towards strengthening access to modern learning tools through scalable, technology-driven education initiatives.
The initiative is supported by InnoVen Capital, India’s leading venture debt and speciality lending platform, as part of its commitment to enabling access to quality education and supporting community development through impactful CSR initiatives.
Sophie Dhawan, COO, Da One Group, said, “With Digital Shiksha, Shikhar Dhawan Foundation’s focus is on making learning more accessible, intuitive and effective, in schools and the entire education ecosystems, where impact can be created at scale. It is highly encouraging to see a growing emphasis by the government on technology-enabled learning across public education systems. In classrooms where resources are limited but aspirations are not, the introduction of digital learning can make a meaningful difference to how students engage with education every day.”
Anshita Gupta, CEO, Da One Group, added, “We are pleased to partner with InnoVen Capital to expand our Digital Shiksha to a school of this scale, enabling more students to benefit from technology-driven learning environments. This initiative is in resonance with the growing focus of our government, on strengthening digital infrastructure in public education. At the Shikhar Dhawan Foundation, we are focused on building scalable interventions that enhance classroom engagement and support better learning outcomes for students.”
Ashish Sharma, Managing Partner, InnoVen Capital, said, “In partnership with the Shikhar Dhawan Foundation, we are proud to support Digital Shiksha’s expansion to Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya, bringing modern, technology-driven education to nearly 2,500 young women who deserve every opportunity to thrive.”
Shikhar Dhawan Foundation’s Digital Shiksha is active across 25+ schools, impacting more than 20,000 students nationwide, with a focus on improving engagement, strengthening conceptual understanding and enabling better learning outcomes.
Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya is one of the largest all-girls government schools in Delhi, with close to 2,500 students. The integration of Digital Shiksha is expected to enhance classroom engagement and improve learning outcomes at scale.
Digital Shiksha transforms classrooms through the installation of state-of-the-art Interactive Flat Panels (IFPs) and a licensed K–12 digital curriculum, enabling a more engaging and visual learning experience. The programme supports teachers with structured digital tools while helping students better understand concepts across subjects such as science, mathematics and languages.
The foundation will continue to expand Digital Shiksha to schools across India, with a focus on building scalable, measurable and sustainable models that enhance access to quality education.
