About the Pilot
A structured intervention for real learning outcomes.
Despite near-universal school enrolment, millions of children in India are failing to acquire basic literacy and numeracy skills. This pilot is our first direct response, a 45–60 day intensive intervention delivered inside partner schools across Delhi/NCR.
Every step is data-driven from baseline assessment through to end-line measurement. Teachers are trained. Students are selected based on need. And outcomes are quantified and reported.
"Enrolled in school. But not actually learning. This pilot changes that one classroom at a time."

Project Timeline
Six months. Six milestones.
Each phase builds on the last from school onboarding through to final report submission and teacher recognition.
April – May 2026
School Onboarding
Formal partnership alignment with schools. Establishing mutual commitment, roles and responsibilities before the programme begins.
Phase 01
April – May 2026
School Onboarding
Formal partnership alignment with schools. Establishing mutual commitment, roles and responsibilities.
Phase 01
June 2026

Expected Outcomes
What this pilot will prove.
By October 2026 we will have quantifiable data showing whether targeted FLN intervention works at scale and a roadmap for 2027.
Measurable learning improvement
Quantitative baseline-to-endline data showing real gains in literacy and numeracy proficiency.
Trained teacher capacity
A cohort of trained teachers equipped with FLN methodologies they can continue using beyond the pilot.
Replicable programme model
A documented, evidence-based model ready for scale-up across more schools and communities in 2027.
