STEM Education CSR That Transforms Government Schools

Yes. The Department of Public Enterprises (Ministry of Finance) Circular Dated 18th June 2026 — F.No. 8/2/2018-Dir(CSR)-FTS(11223) — designates "Innovative Livelihood Enhancement" as one of three Common CSR themes for all Central Public Enterprises for FY 2026-27 and 2027-28. Under this Theme, the Circular Explicitly Mandates support for "Digital Learning Tools, Modern Workshops and Laboratories, Smart Classrooms and Digital Learning Infrastructure."

SMILE HUB's Programme is Built Precisely around these Components: Smart Digital Classrooms, Computer Literacy, and Technology-Focused Laboratories for Robotics, AI, IoT, and Coding. Each Module Maps Directly to the Circular's Mandated Categories, Making SMILE HUB one of the most Compliant Implementation Options Available to CPSEs for this Mandate.

A SMILE HUB CSR programme can be implemented in a single school or scaled across multiple schools in your CSR geography. Samabhavana has set up 500+ SMILE Hubs across India — we design each programme based on the partner company's budget, geography, and CSR objectives. We can provide a school-wise breakdown and cost estimate for any geography.

A standard SMILE HUB from MOU to installation takes 45–60 days, including procurement, logistics, installation, trainer deployment, and teacher orientation. For programmes covering multiple schools, timelines are phased. Samabhavana provides a detailed project timeline at the proposal stage.

Yes. While the full 9-module SMILE HUB is the most comprehensive option, Samabhavana can design a programme around specific modules — for example, STEM + Astronomy, or Robotics + Smart Digital Classroom — based on your budget and school needs. We recommend the full suite for maximum BRSR impact and educational outcome, but flexibility is built into every programme.

Samabhavana provides quarterly impact reports covering: student reach by grade and gender, total session hours delivered, learning outcome assessment scores, teacher training sessions completed, and equipment utilisation rates. All metrics are aligned to Principal 8 indicators and formatted for direct use in your Annual Report disclosures.

Yes, and we encourage it. Samabhavana facilitates site visits to active SMILE Hubs for prospective corporate partners — so your CSR team can see the programme in action, speak to the on-site trainer, and meet students and teachers. Contact us to arrange a visit in Mumbai or your preferred city.

Every SMILE HUB includes a dedicated on-site trainer for the programme duration, conducting daily student sessions and monthly teacher training. Samabhavana also provides equipment maintenance support, an annual programme assessment, and a full documentation package. We remain your implementation partner — not just your vendor.
