Mayem, Goa | July 3, 2025 — In a significant boost to rural digital education, Shri Mahamaya High School in Mayem has inaugurated a modern computer lab, courtesy of Vedanta Sesa Goa and its CSR arm, Vedanta Foundation. The initiative will benefit over 300 students from Class 5 to 10, empowering them with critical digital skills for the future.
The lab, equipped with modern laptops and educational software, aims to bridge the digital divide and prepare students for an increasingly tech-driven world.
The lab was formally inaugurated by Mayem MLA Premendra Shet, joined by:

Vedanta Iron Ore Goa’s Deputy CEO, Dhirajkumar Jagdish, emphasized the broader impact of the initiative:
“This lab is not just about installing computers. It’s about creating opportunities. We believe education, when combined with technology, has the power to transform lives.”
The school’s Principal, Suman Gaonkar, expressed heartfelt gratitude for Vedanta’s support and stressed how the lab will enhance students’ digital literacy and career preparedness.
This lab marks part of Vedanta Sesa Goa’s larger commitment to sustainable development through education. Till date, the company has:
