Ms. Aishwarya Lakshmi [District Education Officer –(Basic)], Gautam Buddh Nagar, Noida:
We have witnessed the remarkable work done by Literacy India in Noida. Considering the pressing need for assistance in schools across other regions like Jewer and Dhankaur, we are eager to learn about your plans for expanding beyond Noida. If you could extend your support to schools in these areas, it would be highly appreciated. Additionally, as there are several organizations in Noida involved in CSR initiatives, it would be fantastic if you could provide infrastructure support in these areas too.
Ms. Iram Fatima, School HM, Vajidpur Primary School, Noida:
The GyanTantra program has been a captivating tool that motivates students to attend school regularly. We have observed positive changes in their attitudes, dedication, and timely completion of assignments. During our department meetings, we have highlighted the benefits of the GyanTantra Program conducted by Literacy India, which has greatly helped our students.
Ms. Vimala Devi, School HM, Sultanpur Primary School, Noida:
Thanks to your initiative, our students have gained firsthand experience with technology. Considering the backgrounds of most students in our school who lack access to laptops or tablets, the improvement in discipline and increased attendance is noteworthy. Some students who struggled with fundamental reading and writing skills, even their own names, can now read and write correctly. This progress makes it easier for our teachers to continue their instruction. The audio-visual learning methods provided by GyanTantra have proven to be highly effective. While we understand the project's duration, we sincerely hope it can continue for the benefit of our new students.
Ms. Sudesh, School HM, Govt. Boys Primary School, Gurgaon Village, Gurgaon:
The allure of computer learning has successfully attracted students to our school, resulting in a decline in absenteeism rates. We have witnessed significant improvements in the reading skills of students in both language subjects. During our meeting with the District Education Officer (DEO), we praised the commendable work done by Literacy India in educating our students. It would be wonderful if teachers could enroll one class at a time and give focused attention to their studies.
Ms. Sushila, School HM, Govt. Primary School, Sarai Allawardi, Gurgaon:
GyanTantra and Literacy India have become regular topics of discussion during our meetings. Our students transition to the senior wing of GSSS Sarai, near Chauma Village, after completing their primary education, and we have received highly positive feedback from them. As children's interest grows, their attendance improves, leading to better consistency in attending school. We appreciate the outstanding and motivating classes conducted by your teachers in the community, particularly during the challenging phase of the pandemic. Over the past year, children have shown increased participation in activities and a greater interest in their studies.
Ms. Shikha, Class Teacher (Grade 4), Chhalera Primary School, Noida:
I have observed significant changes in my students since the implementation of the GyanTantra program. They now listen attentively and follow instructions seriously. The effectiveness of GyanTantra as a learning program has made studying more enjoyable for children. The problem-solving exercises in the software are not only entertaining but also highly interactive.
Ms. Renu Chauhan, Class Teacher (Grade 5), Vajidpur Primary School, Noida:
My students have experienced remarkable transformations. They grasp concepts quickly and can explain them to their peers. GyanTantra is an excellent teaching tool that fosters student engagement. It covers a wide range of subjects, and when we explain a concept, students can quickly understand it because they have already studied or watched the relevant content on GyanTantra.
Ms. Sandhya Mishra, Class Teacher (Grade 3), Sultanpur Primary School, Noida:
I have witnessed significant changes in my students, including improved comprehension skills and increased intelligence. GyanTantra plays a crucial role in developing children's interest in their studies. The presence of computers has also contributed to higher attendance rates. The alignment of topics covered on GyanTantra with our school curriculum has improved overall academic performance. I hope similar initiatives can be extended to middle school students as well.
Ms. Asha, Class Teacher (Grade 3), Govt. Boys Primary School, Gurgaon Village:
The GyanTantra program has greatly helped in developing the writing skills of students. They are now proficient in technology usage and have made progress in their studies. The students benefit doubly as GyanTantra covers the same curriculum as our school.
Ms. Kavita, Class Teacher (Grade 4), Govt. Primary School, Sarai Allawardi, Gurgaon:
Numerous positive changes have been observed since the introduction of the GyanTantra program. Students show a keen interest in computers, eagerly awaiting their class sessions. Their understanding of concepts has improved, and they actively engage in computer-based learning. GyanTantra's practical approach enables students to learn more effectively. I personally visit the lab whenever I have free time, and I believe continuing this program as scheduled would greatly benefit our students.
Ms. Kanta, Class Teacher (Grade 3), Govt. Primary School, Sarai Allawardi, Gurgaon:
I have noticed significant changes in my students. They now grasp concepts easily and can explain them to their peers. GyanTantra serves as an engaging learning tool that enhances student interest. The prior exposure to GyanTantra's content through reading or watching videos helps students understand various subjects.

It’s brilliant for Primary students. It’s fantastic because there is a virtual teacher, here student can interact with Gyantantra and it has a lot of modules. One thing that stood out for me is ‘The Sexual Harassment’ module, which is actually aimed for primary students. Its marvellous., it will really help our children and help our country be a better tomorrow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhosW-bnZHM

A very interesting program where they use technology and digital learning methods to educate street children and adults who have lost complete hope of basic primary education. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dg6582vxvtI

Gyantantra Digital Dost is a fantastic platform that not only allows children to learn at their own pace, but also make it as a fun experience by various games and characters introduced within the modules of Gyantantra Digital Dost. Kids are able to adapt technology irrespective of their socio-economic backgrounds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6FN8lVIYfM
Dorjey Mutup, Chief Executive Councillor (LAHDC, Leh, Ladakh)
I have noticed a remarkable improvement as Literacy India has managed to get children’s interest in academics through their initiative ‘Gyantantra Digital Dost’. It must be implemented in other schools also as the strength is very low and Gyantantra can help increase the strength of students in the Govt. schools. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOVt0OEQPao
Ksenia Hewitt, Divisional Compliance Officer (Oxford University Press)
English was not my first language and I had to read boring Black and white books to learn it. Gyantantra is really fun and really nice to learn English with such colourful and interactive way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUZC8kYXN0w

“Modern basic primary education system that helps children like me can coordinate with the era of globalisation where the knowledge of computers, mobiles and internet is very important and Gyantantra is very effective for this.
Sahil Kapoor, Encore Capital Group
Students are being taught here using Audi-visual technology. This is a new and emerging technology and a great way to help the students in their academics as well as use of computers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuPzn4_3ZAw
Sonu, Gyantantra Alumni
I did not go to any school from 2013 to 2017. In 2017 my father got me enrolled in Gyantantra Digital Dost. I love coming to the classes and don’t want to miss anything. I like learning from computer. There is a teddy that teaches and talks to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBKmbsABibk
