Hyderabad: BodhaGuru Learning Private Limited, Ed-tech start-up in Hyderabad, has won Facebook’s Internet.org Innovation Challenge of Rs 1.62 crore in the Student’s category.
The goal of this challenge was to recognise organizations that are working to make the Internet more relevant for students, women, farmers and migrant workers in India with the help of innovative locally relevant apps, websites and online services that provide real value for the members of these important communities.
Commenting on the occasion, Anubha Jain, Director of BodhaGuru said, “We have released two set of apps – Create Children Book and Read Children Book on all major app stores.
The goal of these apps is to empower everyone (children, teachers, and parents) to easily create, share and read immersive children books with images, text, music and effects - using a smartphone, tablet or PC- over a low speed Internet link and using language of their choice”.
“This enhances creativity, presentation and linguistic (reading as well as writing) skills of students, while having fun. This way large number of children books of all forms will be created and consumed by the children community in different languages”, Anubha added.
These apps have more than 65000+ downloads, 300000+ books have been downloaded and 800+ books (e.g. Folk Tales, Animal Tales, Fairy Tales) have been published in various languages after review in a short span of time.
Team BodhaGuru is planning to release a school version of the app shortly having a structured course and many more features that can be easily deployed in school lab (PC lab or tab lab).
