Samsung comes up with a lot of initiatives from time to time, which revolve around children and their education. The company has come up with a new initiative in India where it distributed 10,000 solar LED lanterns to promote gender diversity and education of the girl child.

The company distributed these solar LED lanterns to girl students in government schools of Noida, Gurugram, and Sriperumbudur towns. These lanterns will provide them an easier way to continue their studies even when there are power outages. They are approved by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, and they come with a three-year product warranty.

Deepak Bhardwaj, the vice president of Samsung India, said, “Education of the girl child is a key priority and through this initiative we want to reach out and light up the education of 10,000 girl students. This initiative is a small step towards helping these young girls grow up to become individual role-models.
