Achieving a 100% literacy rate among India's growing youth is of paramount importance to the Indian government. VEER is a small step forward in that direction as it offers free education to children across different education levels. VEER is an amalgamation of Virtual Reality (VR) in education with a special focus in astronomy. It is complemented by a low-cost smart device, solely dedicated to operate educational mobile apps, which will eventually make smart education available to everyone.
