Samsung, in partnership with the United Nations Global Compact Network India (UN GCNI), has launched ‘DigiArivu - Empowering Students Through Tech’, a major education initiative designed to improve digital and STEM learning in Tamil Nadu. The program targets government schools in Kancheepuram and Ranipet districts and aims to support more than 3,000 students.

DigiArivu focuses on transforming the learning environment through upgraded infrastructure, digital-learning tools, and activity-based STEM modules. Samsung will modernize classrooms using BaLA (Building as Learning Aid) designs and supply equipment to promote hands-on digital learning. The company will also train teachers and introduce structured sessions to strengthen their classroom practices.

The program goes beyond academics. Samsung will set up libraries with Tamil, English, and exam-preparation books, provide sports kits, and organize health awareness camps. Career guidance for Class 12 students and expert speaker sessions will support students’ long-term development. The initiative also encourages community participation through events and school celebrations.

SH Yoon, President of Samsung Chennai Plant, said the initiative reflects Samsung’s commitment to expanding digital access and preparing students for India’s growing digital economy. He highlighted that DigiArivu aims to empower students and teachers while strengthening local communities.
