Anuna Education has consistently recognized the need to promote digital inclusive growth along with environmental awareness amongst its entire staff, students other stake holders.

We at Reboot through our innovative product – market penetration (Frugal Innovation) strive to bring the last mile on the digital highway while encompassing Global best Practices of IT Refurbishing, Remarketing and environment Management.
Mr. Angshuman Saha, Co-Founder & Operations Head mentioned - Modern India certainly needs more computers and computer labs for all the school and college going students to become more effective. He endorsed the merits of adopting such frugal innovation led recycle (re-engineered and re certified) systems, as they have proven to be eco-friendly and cost effective, world over. Mrs. Ruby Srivastava, COO, Anuna Education said, “Refurbished computers/laptops are not only healthy for the environment, but are also essential in furthering Modi ji’s mantra of Speed, Skill & Scale. We would like to see more colleges and skill development bodies such Uttar Pradesh Skill Development Mission (UPSDM), etc. to come forward and adopt such initiatives to fasten the scaling of their skilling initiatives.”
Mr. Jayant Krishna, Principal Consultant, TCS, who was Chief Guest at the launch said, “Computer penetration in India is below 10% and if you examine the same outside of the 6 large metros, then it is a very low ~ 3%. India tier II/ III cities and below are yet to witness any meaningful computer adoption and have been largely underserved in this era of digital literacy. It is a much needed responsibility of all stakeholders to ensure digital inclusion at all levels and that should start with schools.”
Re-engineering of computers has become the acceptable norm world-over, since it offers significant advantages of safeguarding the environment from e-waste issues while providing the opportunity of owning computers at reasonable prices.
It is observed that:
- One reboot desktop (CPU + monitor) conserves 106 lbs of carbon emissions which equals 4 trees or 18 gallons of gasoline.
- One reboot laptop conserves 41 lbs of carbon emissions which equals 2 trees or 7 gallons of gasoline.
