                 Thank you for this encouraging acknowledgement
                 of our initiatives to integrate technology with early
             “childhood education excellence. The Covid pandemic
             forced a paradigm shift during which we have learned
             to become contact-less and yet become more connected.
             This is where technology has played a major role. Our
             innovative Home Buddy online application with rich
             audio-visual content and playful activities was specially
             designed to replace in-class schooling. Currently, we are
             using artificial intelligence to manage youngest children’s
             behavioural and overall development. We are trying hard
             to build a sustainable future where every parent and
             child can access the benefits and opportunities created
             by technology” ― Pradnya Surve (centre), principal,
