The online instruction in science and English for grades 3, 4, and 5 at 104 primary schools in the Varanasi district.

The main objectives of the classes will be vocabulary development, core science topics, basic maths computations, and basic grammar. Hindi-language, activity-based learning materials will be used in every class. A crucial component of Vidya Shakti micro assessments is the gamified quiz. The new project will help about 12,000 elementary school students. More primary schools will be included in this initiative when it launches in the upcoming academic year.

13 villages in Tamil Nadu, thirty-four villages in Uttar Pradesh's Varanasi district, ten villages in Arunachal Pradesh, and twenty villages in Karnataka's Udupi district are all participating in Project Vidya Shakti.In the districts of Son Bhadra (100 villages) and Mirzapur (300 villages), school onboarding is currently underway. This initiative benefits over 62,000 rural students from 524 villages. 540 people now have part-time or full-time jobs because of the program (524 centre coordinators, 10 teachers, 2 STEM tutors, and 4 software/support workers).

Since Hindi, Tamil, or Kannada is the native tongue of the teachers, pupils pick up the material more quickly. We observe very low absenteeism and constant attendance in the classes. Teachers teach science, maths, and English.
With VR equipment in hand, Vidya Shakti STEM master will tour schools to encourage children to pursue careers in science and technology. This is being used in the UP district of Varanasi. After watching our science virtual reality classes, every student said they could clearly understand the material. After watching the virtual reality classes, a lot of pupils stated that the lessons they had learned the year before were still applicable. Students' interest in the experiential learning, or "Anubhav labs," has increased greatly. A STEM master from Tamil Nadu will conduct live science experiments in front of the children at two different schools each day. Numerous children were inspired by this, and they went on to create numerous science models and present them to their schools.

Students in Vidya Shakti have a real-world classroom experience because to this two-way connection between them and their online instructors.

An enormous accomplishment is the simulation software that explains science experiments. Simulations are used to display experiments without the need for a physical lab. For quick scaling, Vidya Shakti is a proponent of the train the trainer concept. We have provided science and math simulation training to 1800 teachers in the Varanasi area and 1500 teachers in Andra Pradesh.

The retention capacity was enhanced by weekly multiple-choice question sessions, and students requested more of these kinds of evaluations.

 The IIT Madras team receives data points from all centers every day, and they are regularly analyzed. Additionally, Vidya Shakti works in 19 Sri Lankan villages. By aiding our neighboring nations, we hope to support the "Bharat - The Vishwa Guru" campaign.
