OUR IMPACT
AWARENESS PROGRAM ORGANISED TO SENSITIZE 'DE-ADDICTION'
KarmaKonnect’s Anmol Shiksha is a model program to assist the Gujarat Government school framework with better learning techniques and strengthen it as a model that enables a comprehensive learning environment. The project involves the installation of digital classrooms in various Government Schools across the state, after a need-based analysis. A digital classroom will help increase the retention rate of students, and also increase their interest in the subject content. Since most Government schools have a very high teacher to student ratio, digital software can be used to aid the teacher, and increase the involvement of students. Two Classroom Plan – Grades 1st to 4th (Maths and English) Grades 5th to 8th (Math, English, and Science)
● Each session in the Digital Classroom is of 1 hour, and each weekday will have 4 such sessions, with Saturday having 2 sessions. In a week, there will be 22 sessions in each classroom, which means that 44 sessions in both the classrooms combined. Grades 1st to 8th will use the classrooms.
● In a month, there will be approx. 176 sessions in the classroom.
● Each section of 1st to 8th (17 sections) will get 1 session per subject in the Digital Classroom per week. This equals to 2 sessions per section per week for grades 1st to 4th in the Digital Classroom, 3 sessions per section per week for grades 5th to 8th
● The 44th session every week can be used as a remedial class for students who are reading and writing at a lower grade level.
Extracurricular and personality building: Post school, the projector system can be used for extracurricular education and personality building, by showing material such as but not limited to Science experiments, inspirational and motivational movies (Dangaal, 3 Idiots), value education videos, Vedic Math tutorials, English speaking tutorials and etiquette tutorials. The JPS Kabaddi team is also impressive, having played nationals in the previous academic year. The digital classroom can be used by the Kabaddi Coach to show the team tricks and strategies.

Project Challenges
Alcoholism and addiction are root causes for many issues faced by rural communities, urban poor and slum dwellers. It does not only affect the families financially but also psychologically. Children from such families where alcoholism is a problem, suffer the most.
