Amidst a fast-changing education scenario, filling the gap between Indian students’ digital and learning divide is an increasingly urgent issue. A new initiative—Shiksha Nation—is addressing this need with live interactive classes, recorded video lectures & smart pdf notes & memory maps for Grades 6 to 12 students, with emphasis on academics as well as skill building for job seekers & college going students.
Founded by Saurabh Kumar, an education professional with over two decades of industry experience, the initiative is grounded in a deep understanding of the shortcomings in the current system—particularly for students in non-STEM streams and those outside Tier-1 cities.
“Despite the proliferation of edtech, a significant number of students—especially in commerce, humanities, and rural belts—remain underserved. Many finish school without employable skills or language fluency,” Kumar said.
A Rejoinder to Inclusive Access and Skill Differences
Having worked for 22 years in the education system, Kumar noticed a trend: although the high-scoring students had plenty of attention, most of them faced shortage of resources, support, and exposure to practical skills. This imbalance, he thinks, has been responsible for increasing youth unemployment, particularly among students who do not opt for elitist engineering or medical courses.
Shiksha Nation was envisioned as a response to these systemic issues—with an aim of becoming a truly practical and inclusive platform for learning in tandem with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. This Platform is designed as “one nation one learning platform” which includes class 6th to 12th for STEM & non-STEM courses. Also gives full stack for Skilling & up Skilling for college students job seekers & people in job to get promotion or switch for better opportunities.
Features That Embodiment NEP’s Vision
The site marries live classes with technology-enabled functionality such as quizzes, polls, and real-time analytics. The classes are structured to encourage interaction instead of passive consumption, going after what many consider an inherent weakness in electronic learning models.
This platform will be unique because it will also help students from class 6th onwards to learn third language such as German, French, Sanskrit & Spanish as well. So uniquely it will cater anyone from class 6th to professionals so it can be said that from “Board exams to Board rooms.”
Who It’s For
Although available to everyone, the platform seems especially well-suited to:
• Middle and secondary students in need of additional academic assistance
• Students from rural and semi-urban areas who don’t have access to quality offline materials
• Students of non-STEM subjects who are usually excluded from mainstream edtech solutions
By integrating live and recorded sessions, it also tries to solve the problem of internet instability and different learning speeds.
Technology With a Purpose
What is unique about Shiksha Nation is that it offers multilingual support and broad device compatibility—web, Android, and iOS. It also employs artificial intelligence to personalize content suggestions and track learning progress.
The architecture of the platform is scalable, with Kumar claiming a lofty goal of reaching one crore learners—both paid and free—within the next 12 to 18 months.
Looking Ahead
Kumar asserts that Shiksha Nation is more than an edtech app, but a broader vision for democratizing learning. “We’re not targeting merely the IIT-JEE or NEET aspirants. The goal is to bring every student in India out of the shadows, to value them, and prepare them for the future,” he stated.
The platform will broaden language support, enhance regional engagement, and add support for commerce and humanities students, including exam preparation up to class 12.
