While significant progress has been made in ensuring basic facilities such as gender-specific toilets and functional drinking water, the report underscores critical challenges in advanced infrastructure. Issues such as limited internet access and inadequate technology readiness highlight a significant digital divide. Additionally, the absence of inclusive infrastructure, such as ramps with handrails and functional desktops, underscores the accessibility gap.
The Persistent Digital Divide and Accessibility Challenges
In a world increasingly driven by technology, the limited availability of internet connectivity and digital devices in schools raises significant concerns about the preparedness of students for a 21st century learning environment. Additionally, the lack of ramps with handrails and inclusive facilities continues to hinder accessibility for students with disabilities, leaving room for substantial improvement in creating equitable learning environments.
Let’s Look at Some Key Data Points and Insights from India’s 2023-24 School Infrastructure Report
Only 57.2% of schools have functional computers, 53.9% have internet access, and 52.3% are equipped with ramps. This highlight critical gaps in accessibility and infrastructure readiness
The enrollment landscape has shifted, with the total number of students decreasing by 37 lakh to 24.8 crore in 2023-2024. Boys represent 51.9% of enrollments, while girls make up 48.1%
School dropout rates increase from 5.2% at the middle school level to 10.9% at the secondary stage
Out of 10.17 lakh government schools, only 3.37 lakh (33.2%) have disabled-friendly toilets, and among them, just 30.6% are functional
According to the 2023-24 data from the (UDISE+) under the Ministry of Education, out of over 14.71 lakh schools in India, nearly 1.52 lakh schools lack functional electricity. Out of the 14.71 lakh schools, 10.17 lakh are government-run. Among these, 9.12 lakh have functional electricity, while 1.52 lakh do not have electricity access. Aside from government-run schools, there are 4.54 lakh government-aided, private, unaided, and other schools, of which 4.07 lakh have functional electricity
Out of the 14.71 lakh schools, only 7.48 lakh (50%) have access to computers for teaching and learning. Additionally, 7.92 lakh schools have Internet access, while 8.41 lakh schools offer computer facilities.
Only 17.5% of schools, or 2.57 lakh out of the total 14.71 lakh, have co-curricular activity rooms or arts and crafts facilities. In government schools, the figure is even lower, with just 9.9% of the 10.17 lakh schools having an arts and crafts room
Out of the 2.86 lakh schools with secondary sections, only 1.6 lakh have an integrated science laboratory. Among the 1.19 lakh government secondary schools, 50.2% (59,972 schools) are equipped with a science lab facility.
The adoption of solar panels in schools is also low, with only 1.54 lakh schools (10.5%) out of the total 14.71 lakh having solar panel facilities. In government schools, just 89,746 out of 10.17 lakh (8.8%) have installed solar panels
With the education landscape continuously evolving and the Ministry of Education introducing progressive changes in education policy, it’s eye-opening to realize that many schools still lack basic facilities. While the government is making commendable strides towards improving accessibility and inclusivity, there is a pressing need for greater collaboration from corporates, foundations, and large scale NGOs to further enhance school infrastructure.
Way Forward as Suggested in the UDISE 2023-24 Report
Policy Implementation: Accelerate NEP 2020 initiatives to achieve universal Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) by 2030, with an emphasis on integrating skill-based education.
Inclusive Education: Promote equitable access to education for SC, ST, OBC, and minority students through focused and inclusive programs.
Teacher Training: Prioritize enhancing teacher quality and addressing gaps in the student-teacher ratio to ensure effective learning outcomes.
Infrastructure Optimization: Align school infrastructure with enrollment trends to ensure efficient use of resources and improved accessibility.
Monitoring and Data: Utilize student-level data tracking to identify dropouts and allocate resources more effectively.
At iDream Education, we recognize these challenges and are therefore highlighting practical ways aligned with the core principles of NEP 2020 and the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan to resolve these gaps
Overcome Internet Barriers with Offline Digital Learning Solutions
One effective solution to address the issue of limited internet access in schools is enabling offline digital learning content that aligns with the curriculum. This allows teachers to seamlessly integrate digital resources into their teaching practices without the reliance on a constant internet connection.
Boost Student Engagement to Enhance School Enrollment
A major factor contributing to decreased school enrollment is the lack of student engagement. In the 21st century, students have shorter attention spans, making it crucial to find ways to keep them engaged throughout the year. One solution is to incorporate smart classrooms and personalized learning devices, which cater to individual learning styles. By offering adaptive learning, students can follow personalized learning paths, identify their own gaps, and work at their own pace to address historical learning gaps. This combination of smart classroom teaching and personalized learning can help schools maintain student engagement, fostering a sense of encouragement and, ultimately, boosting enrollment.
Implement Digital Learning Solutions with Minimal Dependence on Electricity
One effective way to enhance the learning experience while minimizing reliance on electricity. This can be achieved by enabling tablet, Chromebook, or laptop-based ICT labs. The smart ICT Lab setup is also suggested in the ICT scheme of Samagra Shiksha. These labs are designed to store and charge devices in a rack . These racks charge all the devices simultaneously using a single power plug. Once charged for 3-4 hours, the devices can be used for 7-8 hours, covering the entire school day. This solution ensures that digital learning can continue seamlessly without constant electricity access.
Address the Issue of Limited Functional Computers with Smart ICT Labs
The issue of limited functional computers in schools can be addressed by setting up smart ICT Labs. These are easy to set up, maintain, and use and can accommodate learning devices such as laptops, Chromebooks, and tablets. Unlike desktops, which rely on interconnected hardware like a mouse, CPU, and keyboard, these portable devices are more resilient. In a desktop setup, if one component fails, the entire system becomes unusable. In rural or remote areas, finding technicians is often challenging, and taking each part for repair can be difficult for teachers and school authorities. Portable devices, on the other hand, offer a practical solution by ensuring that teaching and learning can continue without interruption.
Foster Holistic Development Through Co-Curricular Digital Content
Holistic development goes beyond academics, emphasizing the importance of creativity, skills, and life lessons in every student’s journey. Regardless of whether they study in a private or government school, all students should have access to spaces for co-curricular activities. To make this accessible even for schools with limited space and resources, a practical solution is setting up digital libraries equipped with devices such as tablets/Chromebooks. On devices, digital content could include an extensive book library with genres for all interests, activity-based videos for creating DIY models using readily available materials, life skills and value education content, climate action courses, and more Co-Curricular content This can ensure a comprehensive setup for co-curricular activity rooms, fostering creativity, skills, and overall development.
Enable Science Learning with Practical Lab Videos
An integrated science laboratory is vital, especially for senior classes, where students can practically experiment with what they’ve learned. However, many schools still lack the resources to set up such laboratories. To address this, enabling practical lab videos on learning devices can be a viable option. While a fully equipped science lab may not always be available in schools, practical lab videos can empower students to visually experience and understand how different elements interact. Through this, they can gain essential practical knowledge and will be prepared to perform experiments when the opportunity arises.
Harness Solar Power for Sustainable Digital Learning Solutions
Electricity challenges in schools can be effectively addressed by setting up digital learning solutions powered by solar panels. This not only overcomes the limitation of unreliable electricity but also makes digital setups eco-friendly and accessible for all. However, collaborating with organizations such as R2V2, present an option to equip rural schools and households with solar panels. This approach will reduce the financial burden on government/implementing partners while empowering communities to actively participate in enabling education for their children.

The Centre’s decision to dismiss the ‘No Detention Policy’ marks a significant shift on how we look at addressing the challenge of learning gaps in our country. Read on to discover how personalized and adaptive learning can support this transition.
What is No Detention Policy?
The No Detention Policy was introduced under the Right to Education (RTE) Act, 2009 in India. Its core idea was that students from Classes 1 to 8 should not be failed or held back in the same grade, regardless of their academic performance. The policy aimed to promote a stress-free and child-friendly learning environment.
Why Was It Introduced?
To reduce the fear of failure and encourage students to stay in school
To lower dropout rates, especially in underprivileged communities
Challenges Faced due to the Policy
Declining Academic Standards: Automatic promotion often led to students progressing without mastering foundational concepts.
Teacher Accountability: Teachers often found it difficult to ensure that students were learning effectively when promotions were guaranteed.
Incremental Learning Gaps: Over time, students who struggled in earlier grades carried those gaps forward, making it harder for them to cope in higher grades.
In 2019, the RTE Act was amended to allow states the discretion to reintroduce detention policies. Following this, at least 16 states and two Union Territories have already implemented this change.
Centre on Dec’16, 2024 Scrapped the No-Detention Policy Leading To A New Era in Accountability for Students of Classes 5 and 8
The central government has officially abolished the “no-detention policy” for Classes 5 and 8 in schools such as Sainik Schools, Kendriya Vidyalayas, Navodaya Vidyalayas and over 300 more schools governed by central authorities. This change marks a significant shift in the education framework, emphasizing accountability, and bringing back the focus on addressing the learning outcomes and not just identifying them as a challenge.
Under the revised policy:
Students who fail their year-end exams may now be held back
The failed students will be given the opportunity to reappear for exams in 2 months
Those unable to pass the re-examination will repeat the same class
A Shift from No Detention to Accountability: Competency-Based Exams Take Center Stage
A senior official from the Ministry of Education stated,
“The examination and reexamination shall be competency-based to ensure holistic development of students, moving beyond rote memorization and procedural skills.”
The official also mentioned that this change aims to identify and address learning gaps at various stages, with class teachers playing a key role in guiding students and their parents through the process.
He also said,
“Specialized inputs will be provided to students who are held back, and their progress will be closely monitored,”
The Officials also Explained Delay in Implementation of New Policy
The new policy was officially announced following the completion of the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) in 2023. A senior official explained the delay, saying, “After the RTE amendment in 2019 and the subsequent announcement of the new National Education Policy (NEP), it was decided to wait for the NCF’s recommendations to ensure a comprehensive approach. Once the NCF was finalized, the Ministry of Education revised the rules to implement the RTE provisions.
As per the official notification,
Students who do not meet the promotion criteria will receive additional instruction and be given an opportunity to reappear for the exam. If they fail again, they will remain in the same grade. However, the government has emphasized that no student will be expelled before completing elementary education. During this period, teachers will offer targeted support to address learning gaps.
iDream Education’s Perspective on the Policy Change
At iDream Education, we applaud the decision to abolish the no-detention policy for Classes 5 and 8. While the original policy aimed to maintain student morale, it unintentionally contributed to incremental learning gaps. These gaps have been a major factor in students struggling in senior grades or losing interest in specific topics/subjects, ultimately disengaging from their education.
This Policy Change may see a strong acceptance of PAL based digital learning solution
The learning gap among students is a well-recognized challenge for schools, social sector organizations, and industry leaders alike. This has made the emergence of Personalized Adaptive Learning (PAL) a growing priority for both governments and social sector initiatives. While PAL adoption was predominantly driven by government efforts until last year, 2024 has been a turning point, with several large foundations integrating remedial learning in their education programmes. We’ve had the opportunity to work on implementing PAL on tablets, PAL-based digital libraries and even PAL on smart class.
How Does PAL Address Learning Gaps?
PAL bridges historical learning gaps by creating personalized learning paths tailored to each student’s needs, focusing on remedial learning. Guided by the EdTech Tuna Framework, most PAL solution starts with a diagnostic test for each chapter. Based on the results, it generates a personalized learning path with adaptive practice questions and remedial video lessons. This ensures students can address their historical learning gaps and achieve grade-level proficiency, mastering every chapter step by step.
iPrep PAL solution is used by more than 2 lakh students, empowering them to cover their gaps in a non judgemental learning environment. In 2024, our iPrep PAL solution recorded over 1.75 lakh hours of usage. In a government implementation of PAL on tablets, we observed a 38% to 44% improvement in learning, from the initial diagnostic test to the final test, highlighting students’ progress toward achieving grade-level proficiency.

Wishing you a very Happy New Year! Here’s to a great year ahead, filled with meaningful collaborations to empower last-mile learners and make a lasting impact in education.
As 2024 comes to a close, we wanted to highlight some of the emerging trends which we are deducing from the kind of implementation we are doing through our social sector and government partnerships. We believe these will be relevant and NGOs, CSR, System Integrators, government and other partners in the education ecosystem must watch out for them as they plan projects in the year 2025.
Emerging EdTech Trends
One of the most impactful and emerging EdTech trends we’ve observed is the growing adoption of a dedicated smart classroom for each grade. This eliminates the hassle of complicated timetables, avoids the scramble to align teacher schedules, or waiting for the smart class slot. Subject teachers can simply step into their classrooms and teach seamlessly using textbooks, digital boards, and engaging digital content in one go. While it may cost more per school, but utilisation is better and hence the impact is more
District government offices are increasingly investing in setting up learning centres in a district. This combines vibrant learning spaces with bean bags, colorful walls, motivational posters, digital learning options, tablet based digital libraries and more such equipment. These centers are built to attract local students, encouraging play-based learning and becoming a starting point to experience digital learning.
The emergence of PAL in the social sector for adaptive learning has gained traction. Until last year, we saw PAL being mostly adopted at the government level. But this year, it’s been exciting to work with several large foundations to set up PAL-based digital libraries. The focus on bridging historical learning gaps through remedial learning has grown significantly this year, making it a key consideration for impactful education initiatives in 2025.
Another increasing focus of the government and social sector is on experiential teacher training. This has always been a gap but now even state and central governments are working on creating guidelines to prioritize experiential teacher training for seamless adoption of digital learning solutions.
One of the most significant trends emerging in social sector and government initiatives is the shift towards project-level monitoring of usage. In earlier years, NGOs and CSRs primarily relied on qualitative data gathered through stakeholder surveys, often conducted by the implementing organization. This approach carried the risk of data manipulation and lacked transparency. However, things are evolving rapidly. Today, NGOs and CSR organizations are demanding data-driven insights and measurable outcomes. It’s becoming essential for implementing agencies to provide regular, seamless data updates—ideally through monthly dashboards that enable transparency, continuous monitoring, and actionable reporting.
Looking Ahead
As we prepare for 2025, these emerging trends offer a roadmap for anyone seeking to make a significant impact in education. From empowering teachers to engaging students, the focus remains on creating joyful, effective, and inclusive learning environments with strong adoption of implemented solutions.
We look forward to working with NGOs, CSR, system integrators, government and other partners in the education ecosystem in 2025 to enable digital learning for more learners through strategic investments.

Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) refers to the essential skills in reading, writing, and basic arithmetic that children need to build a strong learning foundation during their early years (0-8 years). As highlighted in the NEP 2020, amongst all the initiatives the NIPUN Bharat Mission stands out as a key priority. The Nipun Bharat mission aims at ensuring that every child achieves foundational literacy and numeracy by the end of Grade 3.
According to NEP 2020, over five crore children in India’s elementary schools lack foundational literacy and numeracy (FLN) skills. This challenge is even greater for first-generation learners who lack a supportive home environment for early learning. Without FLN, these children are left grappling with gaps that hinder their ability to learn and grow, creating a cycle of educational disadvantage.
To address this, the NIPUN Bharat program, launched in 2021, aims to ensure every child in India achieves FLN by the end of Class 3 by 2026-27.
As part of the Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Samagra Shiksha, NIPUN Bharat program introduced a five-tier implementation framework encompassing the National, State, District, Block, and school levels in every State and Union Territory. With FLN as its cornerstone, the program envisions a future where foundational learning is no longer a barrier but a bridge to greater academic achievements.
What makes FLN so essential?
Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN), as outlined in NEP 2020, is more than just the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic. It’s about engaging children in ways that feel meaningful and fun. Think of it as helping them discover how to communicate effectively, solve everyday problems, and think critically. It’s not just about books—it’s about building self-confidence and curiosity, creating a strong foundation for them to explore and understand the world around them while setting the stage for lifelong learning.
What does FLN Include as per NEP 2020?
The NIPUN Bharat Mission was launched by the Ministry of Education as a flagship initiative under NEP 2020. FLN aims to create a joyful, engaging, and inclusive learning environment where children can thrive. Activities such as storytelling, play-based learning, rhymes, music, art, and local crafts are integral to the curriculum. The FLN skills not only promote academic learning but also enhance a child’s creativity, empathy, and cultural understanding.
For instance, storytelling introduces children to new perspectives and helps them understand the world around them. Through stories, they learn about diverse cultures, values, and ways of thinking, which sparks their imagination and enhances comprehending abilities. Similarly, play and hands-on activities stimulate curiosity and encourage active exploration, while rhymes and music support language rhythm and memorization. These interactive methods help children develop essential skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, and motor coordination in a fun and joyful way.
FLN under NEP 2020 adopts a structured yet flexible approach, focusing on holistic learning outcomes for children from preschool to Grade 3. These outcomes are outlined in a spiraling manner, meaning they gradually build upon previous knowledge and skills as children progress through their early education years. This approach ensures that every child achieves a solid foundation for reading, writing, and arithmetic, alongside emotional and social well-being. By integrating creative and experiential learning, NEP 2020 envisions FLN as the stepping stone to healthy, happy, and well-rounded development for every child.

To Enable Personalized Learning Path
Remedial solutions create personalized learning paths that ensure each student receives the specific support they need based on their individual learning gaps. Unlike a one-size-fits-all method, these solutions are designed to acknowledge that every student learns at their own pace and has unique strengths and weaknesses. With the help of adaptive learning software, your students undergo an initial assessment which identifies their gaps. This is then used to craft a customized learning path focused on closing those gaps. This personalized approach not only helps students catch up but also encourages greater ownership and engagement in their learning journey.
To Foster a Positive Learning Environment
Remedial solutions are important to boost students’ confidence and self-esteem by providing a supportive, non-judgmental environment where they can address their learning gaps without the fear of comparison. These solutions empower students to revisit and strengthen foundational concepts from lower grade levels without the stigma of grade demotion. This approach fosters a deeper understanding of key topics, helping your students to rebuild their academic confidence and encouraging them to engage more actively in their learning journey. By focusing on their individual needs, remedial solutions create a positive learning experience that promotes learning and growth.
To Improve Academic Performance
Remedial solutions are crucial for improving academic performance by addressing the specific learning gaps that may be holding your students back. Through targeted instruction, these solutions focus on the areas where your students need the most help, allowing them to grasp key concepts more effectively. As a result, your students will not only catch up on missed or misunderstood topics but will also gain a stronger foundation for future grade learning. This focused support leads to better grades, and improvement in learning outcomes.
To Prevent Future Academic Struggles
Remedial solutions are key to preventing future academic struggles by offering timely intervention that helps your students overcome learning challenges early on. By addressing gaps in understanding as soon as they appear, remedial learning solutions ensure that small gaps don’t escalate into more significant difficulties down the line. This proactive approach will keep your students on track, enabling them to build a strong foundation for future learning and preventing the frustration and disengagement that can come from falling too far behind.
How can you identify that your students are in need of remedial learning?
Identifying students in need of remedial solutions requires a multi-faceted approach due to the varied nature of learning gaps. Some students may struggle with specific topics or chapters. These gaps can result from factors such as absenteeism, disrupted learning experiences, or the significant interruptions caused by situations such as COVID-19 lockdowns.
Therefore, to identify the need, a reliable way to assess students’ learning levels is through tech-enabled assessments. Tablets or other digital devices can be used to conduct baseline assessments that include questions from different grades and related topics, allowing you to evaluate where each student stands.
While technology-driven assessments provide quantifiable data, other traditional methods like teacher feedback, classroom observations, and consultations with guardians also play a crucial role. These methods, although subjective, offer valuable insights into students’ learning behaviors and challenges. Since teachers and parents interact closely with students, their input can often highlight areas that may not emerge in digital assessments. Combining these approaches will give you a well-rounded understanding of your students’ learning needs. Basis this, you can enable targeted and effective remedial learning interventions in your schools or school education projects.
What Makes a Good Remedial Learning Solution?
Non-judgmental learning
A good remedial learning solution is centered around the principle of non-judgmental learning, where students are not judged/questioned for their learning pace or proficiency level. This is especially important when a student’s grade level is adjusted to a lower grade to help them catch up. In such a scenario, the remedial solution should ensure that students do not feel stigmatized but instead are encouraged to embrace learning as a continuous, personalized process.
Remove time constraints
A key feature of an effective remedial learning solution is the removal of time constraints. Students should be able to learn and practice without the pressure of deadlines, allowing them to explore subjects according to their interests and at a comfortable pace. This flexibility enables deeper understanding and retention, fostering a more engaged and motivated learner.
Accessibility
A good remedial learning solution should offer students the freedom to learn anytime, anywhere—whether indoors or outdoors, in schools, or from the comfort of their homes. It should also support offline learning to ensure uninterrupted education, particularly in areas with limited internet access. This can be achieved through an integrated system, such as an LMS that consolidates remedial learning content, remedial practice exercises, and progress monitoring all in one place, eliminating the need for back-and-forth processes and streamlining the learning journey of your students.
Continuous learning
Continuous learning is also an essential aspect that makes a remedial solution a good fit for school education. The solution should have restricted access remedial video lessons and practice exercises of chapters. This ensures students are not able to complete learning of any chapter until they pass the final test and achieve grade-level proficiency. Students should be able to revisit lessons and continue practicing until they are fully prepared to take the final test, ensuring they achieve mastery before progressing.
Aligned with the curriculum
Finally, remedial content must align with the curriculum to ensure coherence and relevance in the learning experience. Whether your students are practicing or learning through remedial video lessons, the content should be tailored to meet national/state educational standards.
How can you plan and implement remedial learning solutions in school education projects?
Implementing a successful remedial learning solution in schools is a well-thought-out process that begins with strategic planning.
Need Assessment
The first step is identifying the target group of students and gauging their willingness to adopt remedial solutions. This can vary depending on their current learning levels, interest in bridging gaps, and how familiar they are with digital learning solutions.
After identifying your target students, profiling schools based on their existing digital infrastructure becomes crucial. You may either work with what is available or plan to set up the necessary tools and devices to enable remedial learning. Schools with some level of digital access, such as smart classrooms, tablets, chromebooks, desktops or laptops, may only need LMS and content integration. For those without infrastructure, additional steps would include installing or upgrading systems for smooth implementation.
Assessment to identify learning gaps
An assessment framework must be in place before implementation begins. These assessments will help categorize students based on learning gaps, allowing the solution to be tailored to their specific needs. Deciding on the classes or age groups to target further defines the scope of your school education project. This ensures resources are effectively allocated.
When moving into implementation,
You should look for a remedial learning solution that is compatible with the school’s infrastructure or with the device of your choice.
You should then look for a remedial learning solution provider that provides an all inclusive LMS with remedial content that can support the identified learning gaps and works for the age group you plan to improve learning outcomes.
You should review the structure of the remedial learning solution to ensure it follows a guided approach. The remedial solution developed with guided mechanism, allows students to engage with content from different grades in a way that feels relatable. This helps personalize their learning experience, making the material more relevant and meaningful as per your student needs.
Finally, you should choose a remedial learning solution that keeps ongoing track of students’ remedial learning process for students. This establishes a positive learning environment while addressing their historical learning gaps. Thus, empowering them to overcome challenges in a supportive and engaging way.
When Implementing
Training: It’s important to choose a remedial solution provider that offers experiential training on using the solution. This ensures students are able to navigate remedial platforms seamlessly and enjoy benefit from its features.
Progress Monitoring: Select a provider that delivers regular usage reports—whether weekly, monthly, or quarterly. Further, the data should so, that it also reflects on improvements in learning outcomes. This helps you track the impact of the remedial solution in your school education projects effectively.
By following a structured approach to integrating remedial learning solutions, you can effectively address historical learning gaps in your school education projects. At iDream Education, we have implemented our remedial solution, iPrep PAL, on a large scale. One such example is, over 2.2 lakh students in Haryana using PAL on tablets distributed through the e-Adhigam initiative. In this project, we’ve observed a 44% improvement in their learning outcomes.

In India, over 60% of students in government schools study in the Hindi medium. Yet for many years, the EdTech sector primarily enabled content in English Medium. Early on, much of the digital content available was a “copy-paste” of existing English material, leaving a gap in a learning curve.
However, the landscape is changing
With increasing awareness of the importance of local languages and the government’s push for regional education—particularly through the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which advocates for mother tongue instruction in early education—there’s a growing need for high-quality digital content in Hindi, English and other local languages. This shift is not just essential for equity but also for fostering deeper learning and comprehension among students across India.
Our Journey of Building a Relevant Digital Content in Hindi for Classrooms
At iDream Education, when we launched the first version of iPrep LMS in 2017, we searched for relevant digital content to integrate. But, we quickly realized that much of what was available consisted of teacher-centric videos and a lot of this content was available only in English mediumThrough our work with teachers, we understood that digital content should naturally complement classroom instruction, and teacher acceptance of this content is crucial for its effective use. As we couldn’t find anything suitable at the time, we started creating our own animated content which aligned with our philosophy of enjoyable, joyful and engaging. Initially, we began creating content for Math and Science in Hindi medium, and today, we have comprehensive coverage of K-12 digital content in Hindi, and English for all subjects, fully aligned with NCERT and NEP guidelines.
Our Ground-Up Approach of Developing Digital Content in Hindi
We believe in creating truly immersive learning experiences. Therefore, we started creating digital content in hindi keeping in mind Hindi comprehension of Hindi medium school students. We ensure that our digital content isn’t just dubbed or translated – it’s crafted from the ground up in Hindi. It was important for us to ensure students connect with the digital content in a way that feels familiar. To achieve this, we focused on:
Creating digital content where both text and audio are in Hindi, with a neutral Hindi accent. This is done to ensure learning with digital content feels natural and familiar to students
All our educational content, whether in text or audio, is in Hindi and has no awkward English-to-Hindi transitions. This makes our content easily understandable for students just like their daily life interactions
Our digital content in Hindi covers all curriculum topics and subjects across all grades from K-12. This ensures that your students receive a thorough understanding of each concept
We also offer audiobooks in Hindi. This adds an auditory learning element, which connects with students in a way that supports their reading and listening skills simultaneously
Additionally, we have integrated digital content in Hindi across various categories to enrich the student learning experience in multiple ways
Animated Videos Lessons in Hindi to establish Real-Life Connect
We understand that last-mile learners need more than just theoretical content. That’s why our animated video lessons in Hindi are designed with real-life scenarios and local contexts. Based on Bloom’s taxonomy, these videos improve student’s comprehending ability, encourage participation, and fosters a deeper connection with the curriculum aligned learning. Moreover, when students learn through relatable examples and familiar language, their ability to retain information significantly improves.
Practice Questions in Hindi to Enhance Exam Preparation
In addition to providing animated video lessons in Hindi to boost students’ comprehension, we focus on ensuring that they can effectively prepare for exams. To support this, we have developed a chapter wise repository of a question bank in Hindi for grades K to 12. This practice simplifies exam preparation, boosts students’ confidence and enables them to tackle exam-related challenges with ease.
Hindi Notes for Quick and Effective Revision
As digital content continues to evolve, we have introduced notes in Hindi, featuring concise chapter summaries to facilitate quick revision. It’s important that during revision, students have access to content in a language they are familiar with, allowing them to easily review and progress without getting stuck on a topic due to lack of comprehension.
NCERT Books in Hindi for Seamless Alignment with Textbook Learning
NCERT textbooks have long been regarded as the gold standard for students nationwide. To maintain alignment with the school curriculum, we offer digital versions of NCERT books in Hindi for all K-12 classes. By integrating these digital textbooks, we ensure that both teachers and students experience a seamless transition to digital learning while staying connected with familiar content.
Activity Videos and Interactive Simulations in Hindi for Hands on Learning Experience
We have introduced interactive simulations in Hindi to help students grasp complex concepts like friction, gravity, Ohm’s Law, and more very easily. By performing actions such as movement or adjusting weight with touch-based instructions in Hindi, students can experience these concepts in real time. Moreover, we also offer activity-based content in Hindi for subjects such as Math, Science, and EVS, through which students can create DIY projects using easily available materials around them. This hands-on approach promotes deeper learning by allowing students to apply concepts in practical ways. We create and curate this to make learning more engaging and impactful for your students.
Digital book library in Hindi medium
We’ve curated a rich repository of Hindi e-books to inspire a love for reading while engaging students in digital learning. Our goal is to help students gain knowledge through reading fictional stories, learning from history and more. One example of students developing passion for reading is Nisha, a class 6th student from the KGBV school in Bhiwadi, who has developed a deep passion for reading. She has spent an impressive 63% of her time in reading books on iPrep, as highlighted by a pie chart from our reporting dashboard.
In addition to all the above content categories,
We also offer digital content in Hindi across more categories, including tests, skill based courses such as Digital Literacy, Financial Literacy, Sports, Music, Climate change and much more. We have worked and are working on this to cater to the needs of students whose first language is Hindi and who attend Hindi medium schools.
A Key Feature of iPrep LMS
One of the unique features of iPrep LMS, through which we deliver digital content in Hindi, is its bilingual interface. Both students and teachers can easily navigate through content categories and LMS features in Hindi, significantly reducing the need for additional training. This natural and joyful adoption of digital learning fosters a positive learning environment, allowing students to focus on understanding the material instead of struggling with unfamiliar technology or language barriers.
Impact of learning in local language: Insights from our experience of working with Hindi medium government schools
From our experience working in Hindi medium government schools in Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, we have seen an increase in student engagement in learning. Students demonstrated better attention, retention, and understanding of concepts when taught using digital content in Hindi, compared to content delivered in other languages. The increased engagement we’ve seen among students highlights the powerful impact that learning in one’s local language has on their educational outcomes.

The evolution of smart classrooms over the years has been impressive. Just a decade ago, setting up a smart classroom meant dealing with projectors, screens, keyboards, and a complex range of equipment that made the setup complex to manage and use. As Android technology advanced, the idea of a PC Free smart classroom emerged, making smart class adoption much simpler. A single device, controlled as easily as a TV remote, changed the game. However, the one thing missing was interactivity.
Then came interactive digital boards (IDB) for schools, serving three key purposes:
Interactive digital boards replaced traditional blackboards with a built-in whiteboarding application. Therefore, some call it an interactive whiteboard. This enables teachers to teach, write, and draw instructions just as they did before, but with the convenience of digital tools.
IDB allowed teachers to easily use learning platforms and content, enriching the classroom experience.
Interactive digital boards introduced interactivity, encouraging students to engage with the material through touch-based interactions, which they naturally inclined towards, making learning more joyful and engaging.
As their acceptance in classrooms increased, the market became flooded with brands, making it confusing for buyers to choose the right one.
In this blog, we’ll guide you through the key parameters to consider when selecting an interactive digital board for schools
Screen Size of interactive digital board for your schools
When choosing an interactive digital board for your school, it’s important to consider the size of the classroom to ensure optimal visibility and audibility for all students. IDBs come in various sizes— 65″, 75″, 86″, and 98″—but the 65″ model is often the most preferred for schools. It strikes a balance between affordability and functionality, with a screen large enough for clear text visibility and audio. A 65-inch panel works well for classrooms with 30-40 students. If your class is larger or in a bigger hall, you might want to opt for a 75-inch panel. The availability of different screen sizes makes IDB an ideal choice for enhancing digital learning experiences in schools.
Hardware Specifications of IDB for schools
When selecting an Interactive Digital Board for schools, RAM plays a crucial role in ensuring high performance, speed, and smooth functioning.

However, if you plan to run digital content, use multimedia, and various learning apps, or want interactive classroom sessions where students engage with the device, opting for an 8GB RAM device will give you better performance, speed, and longevity. 8GB devices are now easily available at affordable prices. While internal memory is not as important, additional content storage can be easily managed with external devices such as a pendrive for Android-based IDBs or an OPS device for Windows-based setups, ensuring your digital board remains flexible and efficient.
Choice of Android OS/Windows OS or both Android OS and Windows
When choosing between Android OS, Windows OS, or a combination of both for interactive digital boards for schools, it’s important to know that most IDBs come equipped with Android by default, with Android version 11 and above. This choice of version is key in decision making because there are many archived versions of android still available. A highly suitable version for the classroom is Android 11 as it meets all the used cases of the classrooms and is cost effective. If you opt for Windows, you would need to attach an additional device or OPS. This will increase your budget by 25-30K depending on which OPS you buy.
Availability of After Sales Service provider for IDB
When selecting a service provider for an interactive digital board for schools, it’s essential to prioritize after-sales support. Many organizations sell affordable options, but the true value lies in having a reliable partner who can ensure continuity in learning in your classrooms. Brands like LG and BenQ stand out for their commitment to a quick turnaround time of 24 to 48 hours, with this you don’t have to deal with manufacturers who believe in buying and moving on after-sale service. To avoid the risk of downtime, it’s crucial to choose a provider that delivers consistently, and who is located closer to you to ensure a turnaround time of 24-48 hours, whenever needed.
Compatibility with learning platform and digital content
It is most likely that, if you are considering buying an interactive digital board for schools, you will use it for smart classroom purposes. Therefore, it is essential to ensure compatibility of the learning platform and digital content you plan to use. While most apps designed for Android should work with interactive digital boards (IDB), not all platforms and content are optimized for every device. To avoid any technical issues, you should thoroughly check if the learning platform and digital content you’ve chosen are fully compatible with the IDB model you’re purchasing. This ensures seamless integration for an effective and engaging smart classroom experience.
Check for Whiteboarding Application on Interactive Digital Boards
When selecting an Interactive Digital Board for schools, ensure that it includes a whiteboarding application. This feature is crucial as it allows teachers to effectively replace traditional blackboards. With the whiteboarding app, teachers can teach, write, draw, and share classroom instructions in real-time, enhancing classroom interaction and making lessons more engaging. It’s a versatile tool that supports a wide range of teaching methods, from simple explanations to interactive learning experiences.
Powerful annotation on IDB
Choose Interactive Digital Board for schools which provides built-in annotation tools that allow teachers to effortlessly draw, highlight, and interact with lesson content in real-time. Equipped with features like figures, shapes, rulers, and more, the digital board saves valuable class time, eliminating the need for repetitive blackboard work. Teachers can easily add pages without erasing previous explanations, creating a seamless teaching experience.
Check for Experience and Customer Feedback Before Buying an IDB
Before purchasing an Interactive Digital Board for schools, it’s essential to verify the company’s experience. Ask how many schools they have equipped and in how many states they’ve set up their solutions. Speak with current customers to understand their brand and service experience firsthand. Additionally, ensure that you do thorough testing of the device and get hands-on experience of teachers with the device, allowing them to test its functionality in real-world classroom scenarios. This practical approach will help ensure that the technology meets your educational needs before finalizing your decision.

Key Points to Be Cautious About When Choosing Interactive Digital Board Brands
Be cautious of IFP manufacturers claiming their displays are AI-enabled. Many brands are now using AI as a buzzword to justify higher prices, adding thousands to the cost while advertising “free” AI features. Avoid falling for this gimmick. You should thoroughly check what AI features do they have and whether those features solve any use case for your teachers. Eventually it is all about empowering the teachers and such features will be of no use if they do not make the work of teachers easier and more efficient.
Many IFP brands claim their devices come preloaded with digital content. Remember, you’re likely purchasing these devices for teachers to use in Smart Classrooms, where the content will be consumed by your students. It is therefore important that this content should align with your way of teaching and should be genuinely of good quality which adds incremental learning value for your students. Make sure to go through the content thoroughly if any manufacturer or brand claims to provide you with the devices pre loaded with content.
