Strengthening STEM Learning, Digital Skills & Future Readiness for Rural Adolescents

A Core Pillar of Adarsh Bal Gram

About SRIJAN

Srijan is an adolescent education initiative of Sankalp Ek Prayas that focuses on strengthening learning, digital skills and future readiness among students from rural and marginalized communities.

The program supports students in Mathematics, Science, English, digital literacy and life skills. It works to address learning gaps, strengthen conceptual understanding, develop curiosity and confidence, and create pathways towards higher education, scholarships and future careers.

Through Learning Resource Centres, digital classrooms, computer education, STEM activities and community engagement, Srijan creates accessible and supportive learning opportunities closer to children’s communities.

Why Srijan Is Essential?

Rural adolescents often face limited access to quality academic support, digital learning opportunities and exposure to STEM education.

Srijan addresses these gaps through a community-based learning model that combines academic support, technology, practical learning and community participation.

Field insights and cluster-level surveys highlight critical needs:

Strengthen foundational and conceptual learning
Develop interest in Mathematics and Science
Build digital literacy and confidence
Improve problem-solving and analytical thinking
Prepare for scholarship and competitive examinations
Develop communication and collaborative skills
Build awareness and readiness for future education and careers.
