Now the students will no longer be laggingbehind due to technology deficiencies.”
The schools to whom these computers weredistributed were vernacular ones, either Hindi or Marathi medium located indifferent areas of Mumbai. The identified schools did not have a computersystem for their students which were also one of the criteria for being on therecipient list of schools.Computers were distributed to below listed:
Nutan Marathi Vidhyalaya - 4 Computers

Vishakha Prathamik Vidyalaya - 3 Computers
Amrapali Vidyalaya - 4 Computers
Adarsh Bal Vidyamandir - 3 Computers
Saraswati Hindi Madyamik School - 4 Computers
Vivek Dehariya - member of TeamUmang said “Although the computer systems distributed are used ones which havebeen donated by corporate partner of Umang Foundation and school management havetaken responsibilities to take care of these computers minimum for next 3 years.We believe that it will still go a very long way in helping students, as most ofthese schools did not have a single computer system and now, this effort will providethe students an in-house opportunity to be computer literate.”
“School Management will make sure that they giveappropriate time slots for every children and Team Umang will regularly monitorthese classes and will make sure that school management are makingmaximum use of these electronic peripherals” said Ashish Goyal - Founder andManaging Trustee of Umang Foundation, he further mentioned that “We areconstantly on a look out for opportunities whereby we can encourage educationalactivities.
