ONGC Foundation implemented the DESKIT initiative to help bridge the educational resource gap faced by primary-school children in under-resourced communities. Designed for students from Classes 1 to 5, DESKIT is a lightweight school bag that converts into an ergonomic study table—giving children a more comfortable, portable and functional space for learning.
To commemorate Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav and support the vision of the National Education Policy 2020, ONGC Foundation implemented a focused initiative to bridge the educational resource gap in rural India. Many primary-school children in under-resourced government schools and non-formal learning centres lack access to basic classroom furniture, affecting comfort, posture and concentration.
The initiative combines access to educational resources with ergonomic support to create a more comfortable and enabling learning environment for underprivileged children.
Provide underprivileged children with a practical learning facility that can be used both at school and beyond the classroom.
Help reduce backaches, eye strain, poor eyesight and spinal slouching through a more ergonomic study setup.
Improve concentration, classroom engagement and the overall learning atmosphere by providing a more comfortable study space.
The DESKIT initiative reached primary-school learners across nine states and Union Territories, extending practical educational support across varied geographies.
Children are the primary beneficiaries, while schools, administrators and parents also benefit from a more practical and accessible learning resource.
