Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the National Scheduled Tribes Finance and Development Corporation (NSTFDC) to set up integrated Computer Lab-cum-Smart Classroom facilities in 29 Eklavya Model Residential Schools across 11 districts in Rajasthan. The project has an approved budget of Rs 16.01 crore from the HPCL Board and is planned for completion within six months. The initiative will equip schools with smart classrooms, interactive panels, networked computer labs, tablets, and internet connectivity.
HPCL is actively allocating substantial CSR funds (Rs 16.01 crore) toward technology-enabled education and digital literacy for marginalized youth. However, this project is tied to government residential schools (EMRS) in Rajasthan via NSTFDC, offering limited direct relevance to a Pune-based NGO focused on dropout skilling unless HPCL expands similar digital/livelihood themes to Maharashtra.
No request for NGO partners stated. The MoU was signed between HPCL and NSTFDC (under the Ministry of Tribal Affairs); no NGO or external implementation partner role is mentioned or invited.
Funding signal: HPCL Board approved a total budget of Rs 16.01 crore for the project.
Monitor HPCL's CSR portal and annual CSR disclosures for future livelihood or skilling partnerships aligned with the DPE theme in Maharashtra.
“The total budget for this project amounts to Rs 16.01 crore, which has reportedly been approved by the HPCL Board. The implementation of the project is expected to be completed within six months from the date of MoU signing, paving the way for improved educational infrastructure.”
“The project is also in line with the common theme of “Innovative Livelihood Enhancement” as defined by the Department of Public Enterprises for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities during the fiscal years 2026-27 and 2027-28.”
