The Digital Literacy Programme, led by Peepul in collaboration with the Department of School Education, Madhya Pradesh, is transforming how digital education is integrated into government schools.
Launched in 2023–24 as a pilot in around 75 schools, the programme initially focused on co-creating a contextual curriculum and understanding on-ground realities. Within just a few years, it has scaled to all 274 Sandipani schools, reaching more than 50,000 students. The road ahead now focuses on deeper classroom engagement and embedding 21st-century skills into everyday teaching and learning.
The programme introduced Jigyasa, a structured student workbook that covers:
Designed for Grades 6–8, the curriculum follows a spiral, scaffolded approach, integrating core subjects with digital and 21st-century skills to promote hands-on, meaningful learning experiences.
To ensure sustainable delivery, the programme has trained 250+ teachers in digital literacy across 274 schools. Assessments show:
With the adoption of a blended training model, coding modules are now hosted online, enabling teachers to engage in self-paced learning, real-time progress tracking, and reducing reliance on centralised training.
A strong emphasis is placed on data-driven learning. The programme tracks student progress in computational thinking and digital literacy through baseline and midline assessments for Grades 6–8. Learning outcomes are now monitored across all 274 schools through a state-supported framework, ensuring accountability and continuous improvement.
