Impactconcept of continuous improvement is integral to the approach of “micro-improvements” – implementing “plus one” changes that capitalize on existing strengths and then adapting them based on emergent learnings. Enabling technology Shikshagraha’s micro-improvement approach is enabled on the Ministry of Education-hosted government platform, Digital Infrastructure for Knowledge Sharing (DIKSHA), which was co-built by ShikshaLokam. This platform provides leaders and teachers the ability to access and discover common information, micro-improvements, including step-by-step guides, resources and tools. Another hosted application offering similar capabilities is also made available to the community-based hyperlocal partner ecosystem. Shikshagraha will also support the development of other technology solutions based on programme needs to support learning, assessments and mentoring. Finally, a public dashboard will be released that will capture, consolidate and share common metrics across the collectives. Prior to the Shikshagraha movement, the partnering organizations inspired over 1 million micro-improvements in 30% of India’s public schools. With the launch of the movement in 2023, Shikshagraha has further enabled need- based, local partnerships in 74 districts across 15 states in India.
