We are equally delighted and proud to collaborate with the Government of Uttar Pradesh to further their mission of enabling digital transformation through Anganwadi workers. This initiative is a testament of our ability to design and deliver technology solutions tailored for real-world public sector needs, combining hardware, software and on-ground understanding. We remain committed to supporting large-scale, inclusive digital adoption across Bharat.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n As part of the collaboration, Lava provided smartphones <\/strong>of its Storm Play series<\/strong>, purpose-built for field-level use.
