Core Projects and Technologies Ltd has bagged a Rs 295-crore ICT project from the Haryana Government to be implemented in 2,622 schools across the State. The information and communication technology project aims to cover five million students as part of the State Government's move to improve the quality of school education with greater use of technology. Under the project, initially five schools will be developed as “smart” schools.

“This is an important milestone for not only Core, but also the Indian education sector. There is a concerted effort to seamlessly blend technology with classroom learning to benefit larger sections of the society,” said Mr Sanjeev Mansotra, Chairman and Managing Director of Core Projects and Technologies Ltd.

The company, an integrated products, solutions and service provider in education, has operations in the US and the UK, the Caribbean, Africa and India. In the Haryana project, the company plans to use computers and biometric devices to deliver quality education in schools and monitor student and teacher performances.
