The launch of “Meta Village”, a digital version of Pargaon in Maharashtra has been announced by Makers Lab, the research and development arm of Tech Mahindra to gamify learning on its Roblox platform.

Metaverse is one such disruptive technology that has the power to revolutionize learning through immersive digital experiences”, said Nikhil Malhotra, global head – Makers Lab, Tech Mahindra.
