1. SAATHI: Transforming Inclusive Education in India Pratikriti Foundation Learning for All, Without Barriers [Logo placeholder]

2. Key Challenges Over 2.7 crore (27 million) children in India have disabilities—majority lack access to quality education. Rural and marginalized communities face added barriers: infrastructure gaps, social stigma, and lack of trained teachers. Exclusion results in lifelong impacts: unemployment, poverty, and poor well-being.

3. Status of Inclusive Education in India Only 1 out of 4 children with disabilities reaches secondary school (U-DISE 2023). 45%+ schools lack basic accessibility (ramps, Braille, resource rooms). Teachers often lack training or support for inclusive pedagogy. Enrollment improving, but retention and learning outcomes remain low.

4. Government Perspectives National Education Policy (NEP) 2020: “No child left behind”—focus on special educators and accessible content. RTE Act 2009: Mandates admission and non-discrimination. Programs like Samagra Shiksha—implementation remains inconsistent, funding gaps persist.

5. Existing Solutions & Gaps Ed-tech apps (Byju’s, Diksha, etc.)—largely one-size-fits-all, English-centric. NGOs and special schools—limited reach, high operational costs. Key gaps: - Limited local language support - Poor rural connectivity - Minimal personalized learning - Low parent/community engagement

6. How SAATHI is Placed SAATHI bridges the gap—tech-enabled, community-driven, accessible learning. Focus: rural, semi-urban, low-resource environments Built for children with disabilities, girls, and other excluded groups

7. SAATHI’s Uniqueness & Value Proposition Multilingual, adaptive platform (works offline) Modules co-created with teachers and communities Seamless integration with government curriculum Robust teacher training and parent engagement Cost-effective, scalable, measurable impact
