The problem AKSHAR solves

We are providing an innovative and effective way to educate the underpriviledged students of our society during and after covid-19.
Our Constitution provides the right to free and compulsory education for children.Unfortunately, most of the young souls are overburdened with the heavy responsibility of earning money for their families and are forced into child labour.And , in thesse dire situation of covid pandemic with schools closed, most of them are forced to quit studies altogether and earn a livelihood. Should they be deprived of their moral right only because they are poor? They have the right to education as much as the priviledeged lot has. So we at Akshar have decided to give them what they deserve, their right to get educated and secure a better future for themselves as well as their families.

Challenges we ran into

At first we had built only the online classrooms in our app. Then we thought that how will the weaker sections of the society ,i.r., the extremely poor students get access to smartphones or gadgets which are needed for online education. In such cases offline classes become indispensable. So we included the offline events feature as well. After this, another question arose within the team ,i.e., why will people come out of their houses to volunteer? As a solution to this problem, we decided to gamify this entire teaching-learning process, where people will get social currencies on volunteering to promote education. Since most of the people are addicted to social media, they can share their personalised profile (badges,trophies) in social media and their peers will also be motivated to come forward in this project. We have tried to utilise the game and social media addiction of people for a good cause.
