REC Ltd Launches ₹1.40 Cr CSR Initiative for Green Innovator Labs in Haryana Schools
REC Limited has committed financial assistance of ₹1.40 Crore under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative for implementation of the ‘Green Innovator Immersive Learning Lab’ project in 10 Government Schools of Karnal district in Haryana. The project will be executed by I-Hub Foundation for Cobotics (IHFC), the Technology Innovation Hub of Indian Institute of Technology Delhi.
A Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) in this regard was signed on 14 May 2026 at the REC Corporate Office in Gurugram between Arun Kumar Tyagi and Ashutosh Dutt Sharma. The agreement marks another significant step towards promoting technology-enabled education and strengthening digital learning infrastructure in Government schools.
The ‘Green Innovator Immersive Learning Lab’ project aims to transform classroom learning through immersive and experiential educational technologies. Under the initiative, Government school students will gain exposure to advanced tools such as Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), 3D learning platforms, and STEM-based educational modules designed to make learning more interactive, engaging, and practical.
The project is expected to create an innovative educational ecosystem where students can understand scientific concepts through visual and hands-on learning experiences. By integrating advanced digital technologies into classrooms, the initiative seeks to bridge the technology gap in Government schools while encouraging creativity, innovation, curiosity, and problem-solving skills among students.
In addition to immersive learning technologies, the project will focus on building future-ready competencies among students. Special emphasis will be laid on coding, robotics, innovation, and digital literacy — skills that are increasingly becoming essential in the evolving global economy. The initiative is expected to empower students studying in Government schools with the confidence and technological exposure needed to compete in a digitally driven future.
This collaboration between REC Limited and IHFC reflects the growing importance of partnerships between public sector enterprises and premier academic institutions in driving educational transformation at the grassroots level. With the expertise of IIT Delhi-backed IHFC in advanced technologies and innovation ecosystems, the project is expected to deliver meaningful impact in the field of school education.
