Introduction

1. Transforming School Experience in India Introduction

2. Project Overview PoornaKaksha aims at creating a positive learning environment by providing solutions for better school infrastructure in rural and urban schools with poor or negligible infrastructure through creative thinking & system design approach.

3. Why PoornaKaksha Education Quantity = Quality Infrastructure No direct correlation • Education Infrastructure • Teachers • Teacher’s guide & Training • Non-consumable Material (curriculum , textbooks, equipments) • Consumable Material (chalk, paper, exercise books) • School Infrastructure (not prioritized/ checklist approach) All infrastructure needs have generally been addressed at measurable & tangible level • School Infrastructure • Ground infrastructure - Building, boundary walls, Layout, Toilets, drinking water, classrooms, staff rooms, Kitchen room. • Service infrastructure - Lighting, Fans, Computers, Access to web (ICT), electrical equipments, radios, water supply. • Learning infrastructure - Class furniture, storage, blackboards, Staff furniture, Labs, Sports facilities, learning aids/ tools/ equipments. A checklist approach to deliverables: Land, building, contractor, teachers, textbooks, toilets. No focus on intangible level of learning : Motivational, comfort, creative, cultural, maintenance, up-gradation. School infrastructure • Class Infrastructure • Desk & Seat • Blackboard • Storage • System design approach Directly linked to Teachers Students Learning/ education Enrollment/ dropouts

4. Why PoornaKaksha Why School Infrastructure ? • Does not fall under any particular scheme/ prioritization is missing. • Under the shadow of other educational schemes. School Infrastructure Design as an innovation tool can address the problems.

5. What is the approach PoornaKaksha begins by addressing the lowest denominator of school infrastructure as a design solution. Education infrastructure : Educational product tools, Creative thinking tools, Learning aides, Equipments, Technology aides. Desk & Seat unit design that can form a system design Poorna Shiksha School infrastructure : School Design services, Storage system, Display system, ICT, Sports facilities, Layout, Break & play spaces. Vision : Organization growth Class infrastructure : Blackboard, Class Storage, Tables. Poorna Paatshala Desk & Seat: 3 design solutions Poorna Kaksha

6. Who are the investors? • We are looking for investors who believe in the solution and can invest to implement in allocated/ chosen schools. • The first stage of investment will be for school prototype. The cost includes: • Research. • Design solution. • Bench prototype. • School prototype – no. of schools X no. of benches in each school. • Installation cost and documentation. • Travel and stay costs. • Possible Investors: • Corporate companies. • Medium/ Large scale companies in rural regions. • Individuals/ org. that have adopted villages/ towns. • Social impact investors. • Social sector org./ education sector org.
