"This is a special initiative because educating children about the exciting world of insects and their role in our environment through the use of interactive multimedia activities is quite a challenging task. The self-learning content should not only bring compelling visuals for retaining engagement of a child but should also follow innovative instructional strategy ensuring learning-through-fun at the end.

I congratulate the Foundation for taking this step. Harbinger is well known for its ground breaking contributions and leadership in interactive content development and this association once again underlines Harbinger's forte as a specialized company in interactive learning content development space", said Vikas Joshi, Chairman and Managing Director of Harbinger Group.
