" India stands at the cusp of a historic opportunity. A seamless continuum of strong Anganwadis, Balvatikas with dedicated ECE educators, and foundational learning is not just an education strategy — it is the engine of productivity, innovation, and inclusive growth central to Viksit Bharat."

A thoughtful piece by Amitabh Kant in The Indian Express highlights both the promise and the persistent gaps in early childhood and foundational learning. It underscores the need for a systemic, end-to-end approach, along with a clear pathway for sustained, collective effort to make this work at scale.

Many of these ideas echo what practitioners like us at the grassroots are seeing every day. A valuable read: https://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/when-we-help-children-learn-early-and-well-we-lay-a-solid-foundation-for-indias-future-10487765/

Realising this vision will require bold action, sustained focus, and collective commitment across government, communities, and partners. This is India’s pathway to unlocking its full economic and social potential

Research shows that parental engagement can lead to up to four additional months of learning progress for children. Our program, PRAKASHAK, focuses on involving parents in their children's education through accessible technology solutions.

The program, in collaboration with the government, is integrating parental engagement elements into public schools with the objective of driving long-term behavior change among parents toward children's learning.

Engaging learning is now becoming part of daily practice in Child Care Institutions (CCIs).

Through our Empower Educators Program, we work closely with house fathers, house mothers, and tutors to strengthen classroom practices and introduce activity-based learning, so children stay curious, active, and involved.

Here’s a glimpse from one such session at a CCI, facilitated by a house mother.
