A transformative milestone in India’s educational and climate-conscious journey was achieved as Dr. K.B. Hedgewar Higher Secondary School successfully launched the nation’s first fully paperless school exams. The initiative, in collaboration with LittleMore Innovation Labs, used LMExams’ DigiTaal devices — tamper-proof, offline digital tools purpose-built for secure, high-stakes assessments.
✅ India’s First Digital Exam Week
From 21st to 26th July 2025, 347 students of Grades 11 and 12 will write their final exams without a single sheet of paper. The exam system is entirely offline, secure, and digitized, representing a national first.
Key Benefits:
- Zero paper used: 30,000 sheets saved
- Carbon savings: Avoided emissions and water use
- Offline Mode: No internet, no apps, no distractions
- Digital security: Encrypted question papers, real-time answer syncing
- Online evaluation: Faster & assistive correction
“It’s more than just a digital exam — it’s a rethinking of how we assess learning while preserving our planet.”
— Dr. Deepak Amonkar, Principal
🌱 Climate Impact
Each exam conducted digitally contributes to sustainability. This pilot alone conserves the equivalent of 3–4 fully grown trees, and if replicated statewide, could save over 5 million sheets annually. Through a unique partnership with C2Zero (Sydney), LMExams also locks away actual carbon rights, creating verifiable impact beyond classrooms.
🎓 A Visionary School
Dr. K.B. Hedgewar School, led by Shri Subhash Desai (Manager), Dr. Deepak Amonkar (Principal), and Shri Vilas Satarkar (Headmaster), has shown what visionary education can look like. Their efforts, aligned with NEP 2020 and sustainability goals, are setting an example for institutions nationwide.
🇮🇳 Goa as a National Model
Goa’s scale, progressive policies, and education ecosystem make it the ideal testbed. With this pilot validated, LMExams is ready to support educational boards, schools, and governments in adopting this climate-smart exam model at scale — without expensive infrastructure.
“This innovation reflects Goa’s commitment to thoughtful, scalable reforms that benefit both students and the planet.”
— Mr. Govind Parvatkar, Chairman, Goa Education Development Corporation
