Badlapur school gets solar-powered computer lab

Hardika Bhopi, a Class 6 student from Ambeshiv village in Badlapur, was pleasantly surprised to see that the computer lab in her school was air-conditioned.

South Indian Education Centre (SIEC), 6 kms from Badlapur railway station in far-flung Ambeshiv village, has been digitalised using solar power.

“We were all excited to see the well-equipped computer lab. This has boosted our enthusiasm,” said Bhopi.

The school’s computer lab with newly installed solar panels was inaugurated on Tuesday.
