Far away from the India that is thriving and progressing in cities is the story of another India. This India is still hard hit by the continued inadequacy of essential social services, such as schooling. With our vision of inclusive development, fuelled by the principle of equal opportunity, we are ensuring that children in these remote regions have access to quality education, which will lay the foundation for a better future for them and their families.

The Pragnya Priya Foundation currently runs three schools in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. By giving preferential admissions into these schools to students from economically challenged backgrounds, we ensure that children from the lowest strata of society get an opportunity to fulfil their dreams.

Starting in academic year 2018-19, the Foundation is proud to partner with Tata ClassEdge to offer innovative technology-based learning solutions for the students in its schools. Our schools are among the only few in India to be fully equipped with Tata ClassEdge technology in all classrooms.

Tata ClassEdge is a comprehensive and award-winning instructional solution that helps teachers become better instructors through the use of multimedia elements (e.g., images, animations, videos, and curriculum-mapped classroom activities. The purpose is to enhance student engagement and teaching effectiveness. All classrooms supported by the Pragnya Priya Foundation are equipped with technology from Tata ClassEdge, consisting of a projector, a screen, and a content system. All teachers, from pre-primary to higher secondary levels, are empowered to use these meticulously designed learning resources, which are mapped to state board requirements followed by the schools. The content has been designed to boost students' comprehension of course concepts, theories and principles, as well as critical and creative thinking skills. All of our schools are the first in their respective districts to offer a fully digitized classroom solution from Tata ClassEdge.
