Kerala Savaari is going to be expanded to other districts of Kerala soon.

In addition to the above, ITI Limited has emerged as a digital solutions provider and is currently executing the Digitization of Government Moyan Model Girls Higher Secondary School, Palakkad. Once the project gets completed, it will be a new model for the entire education sector and will pave the way for a complete shift to the present-day concept of 'smart classrooms'.
