Problems plaguing

primary educationEven with ramping up of infrastructure with programs likeSarva Shiksha Abhiyan, teachers remain a critical bottleneck in

the system

High Student-Teacher Ratio

Poor Level of Teaching Training

More importantly, drop out rate of children who attend schoolsis close to 34.9%. We need solutions to make sure thesechildren are also imparted with the basic primary education.

Coursecasting Booths

Professors record classroom lectures

Simple Kiosks will be used to screen videos - No networking

capabilities needed - Courses preloaded

Lower cost as compared to traditional model due to lower overheads

Will address the problem of teacher bottleneck as one coursecastcan be viewed throughout the country - entire country taught bybest teachers

Since Kiosks are easy to transport and set up - easy for Rural roll-out

PackagingSubstantial % of children do not go to schools (Drop rate of 34.9%)

Interested in learning - parents too poor to buy learning material -

have to spend money on essentials

Basic primary educationimparted via the packaging of 

essential goods like Food tins,Soaps etc.

In local language in each area
