23,746 students. 810 schools. A focused effort to strengthen foundational learning. In Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh, the Catch-Up Karao, NIPUN Banao Abhiyaan is bringing targeted practice into classrooms to help students in Grades 1 and 2 address learning gaps and prepare for the upcoming NIPUN Vidyalaya Aaklan (NVA). Launched by District Magistrate Shri Anupam Shukla on 27 September 2026, the month-long initiative follows baseline assessments of over 20,000 students and covers 23,746 students across 810 ARP-adopted schools. We are proud to support this district-wide effort in collaboration with the district administration and education teams. As part of this effort, Central Square Foundation has helped develop weekly Hindi and Mathematics practice worksheets, contextualised for Ghazipur. Teachers facilitate one hour of daily practice in each subject, helping students strengthen their #FLN skills. Together, these efforts demonstrate how strong administrative ownership, contextualised academic support and teacher initiative can help more children build a strong foundation for learning. #FoundationalLearning #NIPUNBharat #Education #UttarPradesh #CentralSquareFoundation @basicshiksha_up @AdminGhazipur @CdoGhazipu83796
