Background

I aim to devise Curriculum for Eklavyas (have-nots), a unique curriculum for primary school (Class 3 to 5) students. The curriculum will aim to catalyze quality education and larger behavioral changes regarding learning, educational awareness and opportunities.At Building 21, I aim to research, discover, and invent curriculum/modules, which will simultaneously go under the experiment with students of my ongoing educational project "Sarathi The Guide" in Firozabad, India. The curriculum at the initial stage of research and experiment intervenes in the basic subject matters of "our surroundings," social science, and the English language. In making them, I plan to utilize my interdisciplinary knowledge of education, social entrepreneurship and lived experiences. I am excited about this opportunity as it provides me with a physical and mental space to curate a toolkit that is going to reflect an "out-of-the-box" curriculum and implementation. This project aims to work for education beyond conventional schooling, learning, and teaching. Overall, I aim to break the notion that students (Eklavyas) of underserved societies are destined for mediocrity in education, opportunities, and life.
