3 Padhe Dantewada – Likhe Dantewada- Dantewada

State Chhattisgarh

Beneficiary Students of Dantewada District

What is it?

‘Padhe Dantewada – Likhe Dantewada’ programme has been started for the purpose that every child
in Dantewada district could be able to read, write and do basic mathematics calculations. Many times
it was seen that the children neither perform routine calculations nor can they read in Hindi. Under
this programme, children are allowed to read and understand the basic questions of Hindi and
Mathematics, such as addition, subtraction, Hindi writing and reading etc.

Performance report of each child is accessed by the school, block and district level officials through
mobile app to determine and work on the areas that require special attention. Through this
programme, every child of the district is able to study now.

Since the district is mosquito infested, the project also conducts haemoglobin check of all the students
and monitors theirs record along with academic performance. One of the challenges that the district
faces is that only 12% of the area has mobile coverage.

What are the Benefits
