place India + 1 more

Educational infrastructure made better with your voice

Sudhaar Parivartan, Hindi for "Improvement Change" is a non-profit mobile application that allows the students, faculty, and parents of low-funded schools in India to anonymously share the infrastructural flaws in their schools to relevant NGOs. With a simple user-interface, a choice between two languages, and a team of moderators, the app makes these neglected issues recognized and acted upon.

Education Infrastructure is often neglected when discussing the agenda of "Quality Education". Even basic improvements like adding an Air Conditioner, a fan or a whiteboard can be instrumental in improving quality education and with this app, we hope to engage students, faculty and parents in speaking out about their concerns to organizations of changemakers who are ready to bring improvement.

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

Inspired by SDG 4, Quality Education over which we were pondering, we realized that Quality Education can only happen in Quality Infrastructure and with Student, Faculty and Guardian Agency. Especially in rural areas of not just Delhi, but all of India, and likely all around the world. Growing up in close proximity to such schools, our innovation aims to improve the process of change itself.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

In practice the innovation works through a simple OTP system that allows users to anonymously create and read posts on the application in both English and Hindi. The concerns are moderated by a team and reported to appropriate Non Profit Organizations to ensure that change is made in improving the infrastructure of schools. Through school workshops, awareness campaigns and social media, the app gains users and those users suggest changes to their respective schools. Text and images are both displayed on the app so that rural communities themselves remain aware of common infrastructural problems. Even in rural areas, it is positive that almost everyone has mobiles and those mobiles can be a force of change through the right app and this app is the one that will bring to the process change as the name, "Sudhaar Parivartan" suggests.

How has it been spreading?

Individual School Workshops and partnerships with Education based Non-Profits are especially important in spreading the usage of the app among rural and low-income school communities.

If I want to try it, what should I do?

A simple search on the google play store leads any and all users to the app and usage is self-explanatory after that. A simple and accessible user-interface allows everyone to use the app with no hurdles.
