Abhyudaya is a tech-Driven Project to improve learning outcomes of students in Govt Schools of Dhubri District, Assam. The project has been taken by District Administration Dhubri in collaboration with Eckovation under the guidance of Shri Anant Lal Gyani, Deputy Commissioner, Dhubri.

Implementation of Abhyudaya Dhubri

With the support and guidance from Shri Anant Lal Gyani, Deputy Commissioner, Dhubri,  we decided to include only 10 Schools in the pilot phase, namely Satrasal H.S. Vidyapeeth and Kachakhana H.S. School of Agomoni Education Block, Dhepdhepi H.S. School of Golakganj Education Block, PC Institute, Government Boys H.S. School, Government Girls H.S. School  of Gauripur Education Block, Bangalipara ME Madrasa, Borkanda People’s Academy, Raniganj H.S. School of Bilasipara Education Block and Chapar H.S. School of Chapar Education Block. The Pilot Phase in these Schools are spectacular for learning the challenges in the implementation of the model.

The Baseline Assessment has been conducted in these Schools and the report suggests that students of 8th grade in the district are struggling with basic Arithmetic Operations and Language skills. Based on the analysis of Baseline Assessment Report, the focus will be given to the improve the conceptual understanding of the students.

This unique model provides a single platform to all the stakeholders involved in the execution of the  initiative; all the Schools, education department, District Administration and Eckovation Team. This will ensure 100% transparency and accountability in the education system of the district. The problems faced in implementation are directly communicated to the every tier of administration. The monitoring of daily performance and attendance of students is accessible to all.

All the 10 pilot Schools have started Abhyudaya Classes. The teachers are finding the project very helpful in terms of explaining complex concepts to students using info-graphics. And students seem to be very excited about this new methodology of learning.

But from 2019, another 10 nos. of Schools (Including 2 KGBVs) has been included under this project as phase 2.
