How it works
With DEVI Sansthan: literacy in months, not years — for children and illiterate adults worldwide.
Research-backed, rapid, scalable and replicable Global Dream Disruptive Literacy / Global Dream Disruptive FLN methodology bridging literacy gaps in government schools across Indian states — tailored to the student's existing knowledge, creative, enjoyable, interactive, and mastering numeracy in a short time.
Math and language teachers, master trainers and middle managers trained in collaboration with state and district governments — supporting India's NIPUN Bharat Mission for universal FLN by 2025.
Adolescent volunteers teaching illiterate learners, with toolkits replicated in numerous regions — plus the Literacy Now app delivering large-scale FLN at minimal cost through volunteers, and knowledge partnerships with NGOs for women and children.
