Intel® Teach to the Future
 Under Intel® Teach to the Future, over 70,000 teachers have been trained to use the latest technology in their existing curriculum to enhance teaching and learning and so develop higher-level thinking skills among students. Intel has also signed an MoU with six state governments and two central boards. The Pre-Service program was launched successfully, in partnership with renowned institutions including SNDT University, Osmania University, and Jamia Milia University.
Higher Education Program
The Higher Education Program brings the government, premier science, technology, and engineering institutions together with the technology industry to help develop an outstanding technology-savvy workforce. The program supports curriculum and faculty development and research in higher education institutions. The goal of the program is to help students transition from their educational life to their professional life.
Intel Science Talent Discovery Fair (ISTDF)
In 2001, winners of ISTDF did India proud by winning at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair held in San Jose, California, USA. The National Science Congress and the State Government Science Fairs are all affiliated with the ISTDF.
Intel Computer Clubhouse Network
The Intel Computer Clubhouse located in one of Delhi's largest slum clusters, Govindpuri, is the first Intel Computer Clubhouse in Asia. It gives the 1.5 million residents access to high-tech equipment and helps them develop skills. In turn, these new skills create opportunities, encourage self confidence, and foster creativity.
- 79,800 teachers in 2,134 schools (as of spring 2002) are using technology in exciting ways to enhance teaching and learning.
- For Intel Science Talent Discovery Fair 2002, 2,415 students sent their project synopses, an increase from the 947 received in 2001.
- Over 350 teachers took part in the Intel Awards for the Best Integration of Technology in Education 2002, which saw 15 winners.
- By December 2002, more than 1,00,000 classroom teachers will be trained under the Intel Teach to the Future program.
- By 2003, more than 90 engineering colleges will participate in the Academic Relations' Curriculum Development Workshop for enhanced faculty development in the latest global technologies.
- By 2002, 4000 engineering students will participate in Intel's Technical Lecture Series.

India and Intel share a dream: to prepare India's students and teachers for the digital era. That dream is becoming reality with assistance from the Intel® Teach to the Future program. At the start of 2002, more than 79,800 teachers, 2 million students, and 2,134 schools have participated in the program.
The confidence reposed in the program by the participating schools has contributed to noteworthy and internationally recognized performance gains. According to findings by the Indian Market Research Bureau, on Intel's commission, 47% of implementing schools (numbering over 2,000) witnessed a high level of improvement in the quality of education and a further 37% saw a moderate improvement.
Student talent is gaining worldwide recognition as well. Four students representing India won awards at the 2001 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF), held in San Jose, California, USA. These four students earned the privilege of competing in the "Olympics of Science Fairs" by winning on a national level at India's Intel Science Talent Discovery Fair (Intel STDF). These proud winners were selected to represent India at Intel ISEF.
