    The five questions, answered in full

    Expand or collapse each answer — everything below is what your committee will ask.

    SMARTON qualifies under two Schedule VII categories of the Companies Act 2013, aligns with the RPwD Act 2016, and maps to UN SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities). If your CSR policy covers education, disability inclusion, or digital inclusion, SMARTON is an in-mandate project.

    Schedule VII (i)

    “Promoting education, including special education and employment-enhancing vocational skills, especially among the differently-abled.”

    SMARTON's AI Tutor, Document AI and audio learning tools directly serve the education of blind and visually impaired (BVI) students.

    Schedule VII (ii)

    “Promoting healthcare and measures for reducing inequalities faced by socially and economically backward groups.”

    Daily-living independence for persons with disabilities — reading, currency recognition, news access — reduces the inequality gap the clause targets.

    Written confirmation under your specific Schedule VII sub-clause is provided with every proposal, for your CSR committee records.

    CSR committees think in units and outcomes. Here is the unit: ₹2,000 funds one blind or visually impaired person for one full year — education, reading, news, entertainment, onboarding and support included — with usage measured and reported quarterly.

    Multi-state programme with a 3-year engagement roadmap and employment-outcome tracking.

    What we measure and report — quarterly, exportable

    • User activations and monthly logins
    • Documents read with Document AI
    • AI Tutor learning sessions
    • Audio news and entertainment episodes consumed
    • Support interactions resolved (VI support team)

    Your board needs a story it can publish: a measurable, credible programme with your name on it. Every SMARTON CSR partnership includes:

    “Supported by” placement

    Your company logo on the in-app Supported-by screen for every user your grant funds.

    Co-branded impact certificate

    A deployment certificate and outcome summary formatted for direct inclusion in your CSR annual report.

    Press and communications rights

    Joint press release, launch-event support, and content for World Sight Day and White Cane Safety Day campaigns.

    Quarterly impact dashboard

    A white-label dashboard with exportable utilisation data — audit-ready for your CSR committee and statutory filings.

    A multi-year CSR engagement reads better in your annual report than a one-off donation — and delivers compounding outcomes. The typical SMARTON 3-year arc, sized to your budget:

    Year 1

    Deploy and prove

    Fund a defined cohort (e.g., 500 users) through named NGO partners. Baseline metrics captured from day one; first co-branded report within one quarter.

    Year 2

    Expand and deepen

    Extend to new states and new NGO partners. Add education-outcome tracking for student users (AI Tutor usage, exam participation).

    Year 3

    Outcomes and independence

    Report measurable education and employment-readiness outcomes for the funded cohort — the arc your board report and CSR-2 filing can tell.

    Single-year and pilot engagements are equally welcome — many partnerships start with a one-quarter pilot cohort. See the 6-week deployment playbook for how a first deployment runs.
