Expanding the reach of Dell Aarambh – A PC for Education initiative, Dell has collaborated with Tata ClassEdge – a leading provider of technology based learning solutions. The partnership is resultant to meeting the common objective of taking digital training to schools and equipping teachers with the requisite knowledge of implementing technology in classrooms. This collaboration expands the reach of Dell Aarambh, through Tata ClassEdge network on educational institutions.
Dell’s Aarambh initiative addresses the key roadblock faced by parents and teachers who, while realizing the importance of the PC in education, want to continuously stay abreast with latest developments in use of PC for better learning. The collaboration will enable Dell Aarambh initiative to scale up its reach to the Tata ClassEdge school community, while the Dell Aarambh schools will gain from Tata ClassEdge’s suite of e-learning solutions.

Speaking on the partnership, Sanjay Radhakrishnan, Chief Commercial Officer, Tata ClassEdge said
At a time when technology has become integral to our lives, it is essential that school education should also be in sync with the way students and teachers interact outside the classroom. Technology in education can transform the process with interactive teaching tools leading to improved learning outcomes. Our partnership with Dell will enable us to expand our reach to Dell Aarambh schools and introduce them to our comprehensive instructional solutions in teaching, learning, assessing and connecting communities.
Ritu Gupta, Marketing Director, Dell Consumer & Small Business, India said
For the new India that is sprinting among emerging economies, it is our teachers and students who need to become advocates of technology in education. Dell Aarambh is our commitment in building the confidence and capability among teachers who are educating the future workforce.
For us, partnering with TATA ClassEdge is a positive step in this direction, as we come together to address a unified goal. The fact is that most of India still needs to visualize the benefits using personal computers. It is important that more such collaborations solidify the concept of technology in education.
