GDi has one vision, to achieve higher learning outcomes through interventions like ed-tech, better parent-teacher engagement, mapping of grades to assess and enhance learning patterns along with outcome-based innovative finance projects that boost learning in aspirational districts. GDi works with the state (Rajasthan, Punjab, aspirational districts of NITI Aayog) to achieve NextGen education reforms through interventions like Vision setting, Nextgen Infrastructure, In-class pedagogy, Strengthened teachers & Community involvement.

Enhanced Parent Engagement

A state-wide mega PTM was held in Punjab and end-to-end planning and execution of the event was managed by GDi. The event went on become the largest PTM conducted in the country with nearly 21 lakh parents attending. Feedback collected from these events serves as a database to initiate and execute new schemes.

A Mission for Better Grades

In Punjab, GDi designed and facilitated weekly review meetings between district officials and the education minister to discuss progress. A dashboard mapped student performance in exams and weekly practice bots were introduced for students to practise for exams; the Management Information System (MIS) platform was leveraged and officials at the district level were engaged to track progress.

Going Beyond Classrooms

We believe in the power of Personal Adaptive Learning (PAL) that caters learning to the child’s individual needs and fosters engagement instead of forced rote learning. In the Mission Buniyaad program with the Government of Rajasthan, through Chatbots that can be accessed on any device, learning can happen at home, in the field, anywhere the child is. Through a multi-modal learning module - a mix of TV, radio and YouTube along with daily offline worksheets and weekly assessments through a chatbot on a Smartphone and even board games to increase learning outcomes, the education experience is enhanced.

Chatbots, the Future of Learning

Digitising of learning in remote areas can reduce drop-out rates in schools for girls between grades 8-12 and increase their retention in classrooms because they actually learn. In Rajasthan, we have increased girls' learning outcomes through different digital access points across 33 districts.

Using outcome linked financing

On the lines of Systemic Impact Bonds, NITI Aayog has procured EdTech services where payment for service delivery is linked to achievement of pre-defined gains in learning levels of participating students as well as usage of tab-labs. As part of this engagement, we supported NITI in the implementation and governance of the initiatives in the identified aspirational districts.
