Kutuhal: An AI-Driven Gamified Learning Platform

Kutuhal addresses critical issues in the Indian educational landscape, notably the stark disparities caused by socio-economic and geographical diversity. Many children, especially in rural or economically disadvantaged areas, receive substandard education lacking in standardization, personalization, and engagement. 

Accessibility in education has vastly improved in India with Right to Education upto standard 8th but the learning outcomes have not kept pace. There is a rising ‘learning crisis’ in which one concept , one subject , one class can cause a significant learning gap when a child cannot keep up with the expected learning level as per the curriculum. 

According to Aser 2024 ‘Beyond basics’ Rural report , Children in the age group 14-18 still lack the basic foundational level skills taught at standard I and II. Over 25% of the students could not read fluently in their local language and English as a language was not a priority for learning. 

The invisible gap manifests in several ways in children ; Avoiding attending schools, limited participation in classroom discussions and activities, fear or difficulty in expressing emotions, lack of confidence, below average performance in tests and examinations and lack of concentration.

The key factors contributing to these problems are lack of quality education, inadequate number of trained and experienced quality teachers, insufficient infrastructures and resources,  socio economic disparities and gender biases.

Kutuhal is addressing this learning gap crisis by creating an on demand revision base platform, which can be accessed multiple times to understand the concepts by the learners. 

Connection of Factors to the Solution:
