Principal Investigator
Prof. Shreesh Chaudhary
Objective
- This project aims to extend the effort for an additional three years. During this phase, we will leverage the internet and computers to introduce stories, songs, games, and films to these classes. Over three years, we intend to equip children aged eight to 15 with a vocabulary of up to 3,000 basic English words. They should be able to read, write, and understand simple sentences in English and Hindi. This initiative not only expands their linguistic horizons but also fosters computer literacy among children and advanced proficiency among local youth serving as volunteer teachers.
