Strengthening STEM Learning, Digital Skills & Future Readiness for Rural Adolescents
A Core Pillar of Adarsh Bal Gram
(2025-2027)
About SRIJAN
The Srijan Program is SEP’s dedicated adolescent education initiative designed to build strong foundations in Math, Science, English, digital literacy, and life skills for students in Grades 6–10. Srijan addresses the real academic and technological gaps faced by rural adolescents and prepares them for scholarship exams, higher education, and future careers.
Through a structured model of Learning Resource Centres (LRCs), digital classrooms, Science Mela, computer labs, and community engagement, Srijan nurtures curiosity, confidence, and conceptual understanding.
Why Srijan Is Essential?
Field insights and cluster-level surveys highlight critical needs:
- Weak Math & Science foundation in middle–high school
- Low conceptual clarity due to limited classroom time & high teacher–student ratios
- Minimal digital access in rural schools
- High dropout rates in grades 6–10
- Poor exam performance due to lack of revision/tests
- Parents unaware of academic needs or progress
- Community lacking subject-specific support for adolescents
Srijan solves these through structured centres, trained community teachers, regular assessments, and digital tools.
Significant Impact Delivered by the SRIJAN Program
Key Enablers of Srijan
The Srijan Program is an initiative under Sankalp Ek Prayas that focuses on the education and overall development of students in classes ó to 10 from rural and marginalized communities. The program provides structured learning support in Mathematics, Science and English, aiming to bridge learning gaps, strengthen conceptual understanding, and enhance academic performance.

Learning Resource Centres (LRCs)
A structured community-based learning hub for Grades 6–10.
- Baseline → monthly test → mock tests → final evaluation
- Regular Math & Science classes linked to school syllabus
- Question-solving practice
- Revision cycles support
- Teacher training on methods & content
- Monthly progress reports shared with parents
Coverage: 250 centres | 12,163 adolescents | 457 community teachers
Goal: Strengthen academic achievement, reduce dropouts, and build conceptual clarity.

Digital Classroom: e-Udaan
e-Udaan brings digital STEM learning to schools where electricity/internet is limited by using offline e-Pitara devices. Process:
- Approval from BEO / HM / SMC
- Module selection & digital content finalization
- Teacher training on digital content usage
- Regular digital sessions + student assessments
- Monthly monitoring & review meetings
Impact: Improves conceptual clarity, increases digital confidence, and builds 21st-century skills.

Computer Labs
In order to give a chance to gain computer knowledge & skills, SEP has introduced the Computer Lab project in government schools with the permission of government officials.
- Monthly digital literacy sessions
- Focus on typing, MS Office, internet basics, cyber safety
- Collaboration with HMs, teachers, Panchayat, SMCs, CSR partners
- Practical classes inside labs
- Progress tracking
- Parent awareness on digital literacy
- Safe & disciplined lab environment
Coverage: Expansion to 40 government schools

Science Mela (STEM Promotion)
This platform encourages young minds to explore and showcase their scientific ideas through experiments, interactive activities. The purpose is to spark curiosity, remove fear of science, and build creativity, teamwork, and a scientific approach among children.
- Community + teacher + student training
- Project-based learning
- DIY experiments
- School competitions
- Science-based Street plays & exhibitions
Goal: 50 schools in phase 1 → 50 more in phase 2

Meritorious Children Support – NMMSE Preparation
Empowering bright young minds in rural areas, the Meritorious Children Support Program provides dedicated support to academically gifted but underprivileged children.
- Identification via baseline
- Focused coaching
- Mock tests
- Previous 5-year question paper practice
- Parent meetings and progress tracking
Criteria: Class 7 students scoring 55% (OBC) / 50% (SC/ST) or economically weak
Coverage: 2000 adolescents across 250 villages
Goal: 360 selections in NMMSE & state scholarships in next 2-years.

Community & Parental Engagement
Families and local groups actively support children’s learning through regular interactions, home support, volunteer efforts, and stronger school linkages, helping improve participation, awareness, and future readiness.
- Regular parent meetings (PTMs)
- Home-learning guidance
- Community volunteers supporting centre functioning
- SMC/PRI involvement in school linkage & infrastructure
- Awareness on attendance, digital literacy & career pathways
Purpose: To increase parent participation and community support so children attend regularly, learn better, and stay connected to school activities.
