“Will we have a Digital Shiksha Lab here too?”

Sometimes, one question can tell you more about your impact than a hundred numbers.

One of our GHPS students had experienced learning through a Project Shiksha Digital Lab.

He explored technology.
He learnt new skills.
He experienced what a digital learning space could open up for him.

Then he moved to high school.

And he wanted that experience to continue.

So when he joined Bidarahalli High School, he asked for the same opportunity there.

Today, we are proud to have inaugurated a Digital Shiksha Lab at his new school, extending digital learning to students from Grades 8–10.

For us, this isn’t just another lab.

It is a child’s experience becoming a request.
A request becoming an opportunity.
And an opportunity becoming a new beginning for an entire school.❤️

This is what impact looks like to us.

Not just reaching a child once—but creating an experience they want to carry forward.

Thank you, Alcon for helping us make this possible. 🙏

Lab #38.
And a little more proof that when children get access, they ask for more. 💻✨**

Small classroom moments. Big learning milestones. 📚✨

At Project Shiksha, our Foundational Literacy & Numeracy (FLN) program is creating everyday opportunities for children to read, understand, express and learn with confidence across 3 schools in Bengaluru.

And the progress is visible—in the little things.

📖 Children taking turns to read lessons aloud
✍️ Writing answers independently and completing textbook exercises
🗣️ Understanding lessons through discussions in both English and Hindi
🔤 Discovering how Braille came into existence—and learning to decode it
🧩 Engaging with riddles, activities and classroom conversations
🎨 Creating a bird feeder as part of a lesson-based activity
📚 Completing meanings, question-answers and exercises independently

From The Wise Parrot and The Old Stag to Braille and Humare Rashtriya Prateek, every lesson is becoming an opportunity to build more than academic skills—it is building curiosity, comprehension, confidence and participation.

For us, FLN is not just about completing a textbook.

It is about helping a child say:

“I can read this.”
“I understand this.”
“I can answer this.”
“I can do this myself.” ❤️

That is where foundational learning begins—and where confidence starts to grow.

We’re thrilled to welcome Ravi Sreedharan to the Project Shiksha Advisory Board! 🎉

His journey is proof that impact can take many forms — and it’s never too late to redirect a successful career toward something bigger.

After 23 years in corporate banking, rising to CEO of HSBC Indonesia, Ravi walked away from it all to ask a harder question: who trains the people meant to lead India’s social sector?

He spent 5 years with the Azim Premji Foundation, then a year teaching in a remote Kerala village school — an experience that convinced him India’s social sector isn’t short on intent, it’s short on trained leadership.

That conviction led him to co-found ISDM in 2016 — India’s first institution dedicated entirely to building professional management talent for social impact.

As we scale our Digital Shiksha Labs, Ravi’s experience building institutions from the ground up will be invaluable.

Welcome aboard, Ravi! 🙌

Two more Digital Labs. Countless new dreams.

Today, Project Shiksha proudly inaugurated two more Digital Shiksha Labs, taking another meaningful step towards our vision of establishing 45+ Digital Shiksha Labs before the end of 2027.

Every new lab is more than an infrastructure milestone. It’s a promise that a child, regardless of where they come from, deserves the opportunity to learn, explore, innovate, and dream through technology.

With today’s inauguration, we are especially delighted to celebrate our third Digital Shiksha Lab in partnership with Digio. Their continued trust and commitment have enabled us to expand access to future-ready education for hundreds of young learners.

This milestone also belongs to every one of our CSR partners who have believed in our mission from the very beginning. Together, we are creating learning spaces where children develop digital skills, discover new possibilities, and build the confidence to shape their own futures.

As we continue this journey, our goal remains clear—to establish 45+ Digital Shiksha Labs before the end of 2027, ensuring that many more government school students have access to quality, technology-enabled education.

To our partners, educators, school leaders, trainers, volunteers, and communities—thank you for making this journey possible. Every lab we build is a testament to what can be achieved when organisations come together with a shared purpose.

Here’s to building more than Digital Labs.

Here’s to building opportunities, aspirations, and a future where every child has the chance to thrive.

Every classroom tells a story of curiosity, confidence, and countless little victories.

At Project Shiksha, our **Foundational Literacy & Numeracy (FLN) Program** brings Spoken English to life for students from Grades 1–5 through interactive Smart TV lessons—but the real magic happens beyond the screen.

From role plays and storytelling to vocabulary games, picture cards, action songs, and hands-on classroom activities, every session is designed to make learning interactive, engaging, and fun. We believe children learn best when they actively participate, explore, collaborate, and express themselves with confidence.

The enthusiasm in our classrooms is truly infectious. Tiny hands eagerly go up to answer questions, new words are spoken with pride, and every activity becomes an opportunity to build confidence, communication, and a lifelong love for learning.

A special shout-out to our trainer, Geeta Bhurat for bringing such warmth, creativity, and energy to every classroom she leads.

These everyday classroom moments may seem small, but together they are shaping brighter futures—one word, one conversation, and one confident child at a time.

Every child deserves a fair shot at the future - regardless of where they’re born. 🌍

That belief is why we exist. Yesterday, it took shape in two more classrooms - at GLPS Koppa and GHPS Harapanahalli - where we inaugurated new Digital Shiksha computer labs.

Watching the kids walk into a room with computers set up just for them - some hesitant, some instantly curious, all of them excited - is exactly why we do this work !

For children in last-mile communities, a computer lab isn’t just equipment. It’s often their first real doorway into technology, spoken English, and the skills the world now expects them to have. We believe access to that doorway shouldn’t depend on where a child happens to grow up.

Our goal is ambitious but simple: 45+ Digital Shiksha labs by the end of 2027, built in partnership with corporates and government schools across Karnataka, Jharkhand, and Tamil Nadu.

We would like to thank our CSR partner Amazon India & Sama Digital Foundation for being the liasoning partner.

If your organisation wants to be part of building the next lab - as a partner, a volunteer, or a supporter - we’d love to talk.

✨ Stories of Change | Keeping Dreams in School

For many girls, the journey through education is not just about learning—it is about overcoming barriers, challenging circumstances, and holding on to dreams despite uncertainty.

As students move into higher grades, financial pressures often increase, putting their education at risk. For some, the possibility of dropping out becomes a very real concern.

At Project Shiksha, we believe that no girl should have to choose between her dreams and her circumstances.

Through our Scholarship Program, we support deserving students from underserved communities, helping them continue their education with confidence, dignity, and hope. What may seem like financial support on paper often becomes something much greater—a chance to stay in school, pursue aspirations, and build a future filled with opportunity.

Every scholarship tells a story of resilience.

A story of a girl who refused to give up.

A family that chose education despite the odds.

And a community of donors who stepped forward to make that journey possible.

Over the years, our Scholarship Program has become one of Project Shiksha’s most impactful and heartfelt initiatives—creating pathways for students to remain in school and continue moving toward their goals.

To our generous donors, thank you for believing that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.

Because when we invest in a girl’s education, we invest in stronger families, empowered communities, and a more equitable future.

💛 Together, we are not just funding education.

We are protecting dreams.

A curriculum is only successful when it reaches the learners it was created for.

Over the past few weeks, the **Project Shiksha Tech Curriculum & Practice Workbooks** have begun rolling out across our Digital Shiksha Labs in Karnataka and Jharkhand.

This marks an important milestone in our evolution—from building digital infrastructure to creating structured learning pathways for government school students and last-mile learners.

During a recent visit to Jharkhand, it was heartening to see students engage with the curriculum and hear positive feedback from educators and partner organisations.

These books are the outcome of years of classroom learning, educator insights, and our belief that digital literacy must go beyond access to technology. It must be supported by curriculum, practice, and teacher capacity.

As we enter our next phase, we remain committed to strengthening public education systems through scalable and sustainable learning models.

The true measure of success will not be the number of books distributed, but the number of futures transformed.
