Bridging the teacher gap in rural India with low-cost digital STEM tools — giving every child access to quality education, regardless of geography or circumstance.
Bridging the teacher gap in rural India with low-cost digital STEM tools — giving every child access to quality education, regardless of geography or circumstance.
While educational technology is increasingly being adopted by well-resourced private schools, CLT is focused on extending the benefits of technology-enabled learning to government schools. The CLT e-Patashale initiative was conceptualized as a transformative model to enhance learning experiences and bring meaningful change to rural classrooms.
At the heart of the e-Patashale model, CLT master teachers drive innovation by creating localized STEM digital content and using accessible technology platforms to transform teaching practices at the community level.
The sustainablity of the program is ensured by equipping teachers with quality resources and enhanced teaching skills. Offline digital content and solar-powered systems help overcome connectivity and electricity challenges, ensuring uninterrupted access to learning.
The digital STEM content is for 5th–10th grades, based on NCERT syllabus. It has concept-based videos, real-time experiments, activity-based learning and assessments.

Collaboration with State and District level governments, corporates, NGOs and local communities have made the model scalable.
Digital Learning Content
Structured digital content for Science, Mathematics and English Grammar across Grades 5 to 10
Science lessons bring the curriculum to life with clear concept explanations, hands-on experiments and regular assessments — making even the toughest topics easy to understand for every learner from Class 5 to 10.
Mathematics lessons build strong foundations with concept-based video explanations, solved examples and practice problems, backed by chapter-wise assessments that build confidence and speed for Class 5 to 10.
Grammar lessons take learners from the basics in Class 5 to advanced concepts by Class 10 — covering parts of speech, tenses, voice, clauses and writing skills, all explained simply in every video.

A classroom app designed for teachers to deliver interactive STEM lessons, track student progress, and access the full content repository.
A mobile app for students to learn at their own pace with interactive content, quizzes, and progress tracking — designed for offline use.
Together, the two apps create a connected learning ecosystem—supporting teachers in teaching and students in learning. By extending digital resources to handheld devices, we increase the access to digital tools in underserved communites.
A holistic model built around teachers, technology, and hands-on learning
True to its strategy of keeping teachers at the center, CLT has successfully trained every teacher in every school where e-Patashale is implemented.
