Tata AIA Life Insurance has launched a transformative CSR initiative introducing smart classrooms in seven government schools in Dimapur. The three-year programme (2024–2026) is set to benefit over 3,267 students, aiming to enhance learning through digital infrastructure, localized content, and trained educators. The initiative follows the ASER 2024 report which highlighted that only 32.6% of Nagaland’s schools have computer facilities, with limited usage. Tata AIA’s intervention includes smart classrooms with interactive audio-visual tools, teacher training workshops for 168 educators, and customized e-learning modules in partnership with Teachmint Edutech. The program also promises essential hardware and connectivity, targeting increased attendance, better academic outcomes, and enhanced digital engagement.
Kristyl Bhesania, CHRO of Tata AIA, said the initiative reflects the Group’s core mission to improve lives. “We are committed to meaningful community development that extends beyond insurance solutions.”
In Kohima, where education and tech integration have long been stagnant, this CSR initiative is viewed as a timely boost. Local educators and families anticipate a ripple effect, with hopes that similar models will extend to Kohima’s government schools, accelerating digital literacy across the capital. Tata AIA also supports a state-backed insurance scheme covering low-income families, underlining its broader social responsibility in Nagaland.
