Most institutions do not lack interest in this technology. They lack a budget line for it. Below are the Indian schemes that schools, ITIs, polytechnics and universities actually use to pay for equipment like Edenix — and exactly what we supply for your application.
Edenix is ₹4,99,000 including GST, delivered, installed and calibrated. There is no education discount tier and no separate institutional rate — the number you budget for is the number on this site, which is what a purchase committee needs to see.
We will put that into a formal quotation and proforma invoice on letterhead for your file. Ask for a quote →
The strongest single route in the country for a school. If your school already has an Atal Tinkering Lab, the money is likely already sanctioned.
Grant-in-aid of ₹20 lakh per school: ₹10 lakh one-time establishment cost plus ₹10 lakh operations and maintenance at ₹2 lakh a year for five years. The capital portion is meant for exactly this kind of equipment — the official packages cover electronics, robotics, IoT and sensors. The ₹10 lakh first-year establishment grant covers an Edenix at ₹4,99,000 including GST comfortably, with room left for consumables and the optional AMC, and the ₹2 lakh annual O&M line covers consumables and our AMC. AIM guidance states its vendor list is indicative — schools may procure elsewhere at their discretion with due diligence.
Indian companies above the specified thresholds must spend 2% of average net profit on CSR, and both education and rural development are qualifying heads. A single Edenix is a well-defined, photographable, reportable project of the size CSR committees like — and local industry is usually more willing to fund a named school in its own district than a general programme. Approach the CSR head of a large employer near you, not their marketing team.
Government and aided schools receive annual grants under Samagra Shiksha, including heads for ICT infrastructure and vocational education. Allocation and approval sit with your State Project Office, so amounts and timing vary by state. Worth raising with your district education officer alongside an ATL application rather than instead of one.
Higher education buys equipment from departmental capital budgets far more often than from grants. Where a grant is used, these are the usual ones.
The most common route, and the fastest. An Edenix sits in the same price band as a mid-range lab instrument, but serves mechanical, electronics, computer science and agriculture departments simultaneously. We supply a written budget-justification document and technical specification sheet formatted for a purchase committee — see the cost-per-student working on our ROI page.
Email info@kalpyantra.ai with your institution type and the scheme you are applying under, and we will send the set that fits.
The applications that succeed describe an outcome, not a machine. “We will buy a precision farming robot” is weak. “120 Class 8–10 students will complete a 14-lesson module in robotics and soil science, assessed against NEP 2020 experiential learning outcomes, producing measured data on water use” is fundable. The curriculum exists precisely so you can write the second version. Take it, put it in your own words, and attach it.
Tell us your institution, the scheme, and your deadline. We will send a formal quotation and a budget-justification note. No obligation, and no sales call unless you ask for one.
