On June 20, 2024, mPokket announced its partnership with Adhigam Bhoomi as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative.

Adhigam Bhoomi: Education Rooted in Tradition and Sustainability

Founded by Mukti Gupta, Adhigam Bhoomi operates on the principle of "Apni Mitti Se Judi Shiksha" (Education rooted in our land). The school’s mission is to revamp rural India's educational landscape by integrating skill-based education with sustainable practices. This unique approach not only equips students with essential life skills but also fosters self-reliant communities.

Adhigam Bhoomi's curriculum is a fusion of traditional Vedic education and modern skills-based learning, developed with input from over 30 renowned national scientists, educationists, and artisans. The school aims to instill self-realization and practical skills, encouraging students to lead local development initiatives and contribute meaningfully to their communities.

Commitment to a Sustainable Future

The partnership between mPokket and Adhigam Bhoomi underscores a shared vision of sustainability. The curriculum at Adhigam Bhoomi focuses on skill-based education for students and women across various villages, promoting growth and Atmanirbharta (self-reliance). By fostering a culture of environmental stewardship, this collaboration aims to make rural India more sustainable.

As part of the "Help Us Help Them" (HUHT) initiative, this partnership is designed to shape a holistic learning experience. It aims to cultivate curiosity and understanding among students, preparing them for a dynamic future. The ultimate goal is to produce leaders and entrepreneurs who will return to their villages, create employment opportunities, and reduce the migration from rural to urban areas.

The collaboration between mPokket and Adhigam Bhoomi is a symbol of hope for underprivileged girls in rural Bengal. By providing equitable educational opportunities and fostering empowerment through quality education, this partnership will pave the way for a brighter, more sustainable future for India's youth.
