New wave of education

Everonn Education Ltd launched its `Educating India' initiative. Under this, the firm will set up 200 K-12 schools, 500
skill-development centres, 10 engineering colleges and 27 business schools across India in the first phase.

This initiative involves setting up of institutes across various segments, including K-12 (kindergarten to Class 12), skill development (learning-for-earning) and higher education segment.

In the K-12 part, pre-schools, block-level schools, those in district headquarters, high-end and international schools will be set up.

The skill-development segment will offer courses in real estate, health, hospitality, logistics and construction. Higher education segment includes engineering and medical colleges, business schools, arts and science colleges.
