Tata Indicom has joined hands with SNDT Women's University, ATOM (Any Transaction on Mobile), and Indian PCO Tele-services (IPTL) for an initiative called Mobile Education (M-Education).
The purpose of this program is to aid distance learning, and support learning for rural communities and for the physically challenged. Through M-Education, the coalition wants to make education available in the remotest corners of the country.

The strategic alliance aims to harness technology through a unique model. The model being; a mobile phone becomes a device that not only allows access to voice and text messaging, but also generates accredited educational content, letting people take mock tests on the move, etc. And all this is achieved sans any geographic or physical constraints. For the purpose of imparting M-Education, SNDT University will develop and manage content, Tata Indicom will be the carrier, ATOM will provide the intermediary interfaces, while IPTL will look after service distribution and dissemination. With the help of CDMA technology, M-Education intends to offer up-to-date content to students -- without having to go to schools and colleges. In the beginning, the M-Education service will be available in Hindi and English languages. The alliance plans to later make the service available in other regional languages as well.
