Mission Buniyaad
Mission Buniyaad (MB) was launched with the goal of improving access to digital learning and adaptive education for girls in Rajasthan. The program integrates a blended learning model combining digital tools with offline teaching methods—such as revision support, pre- and post-testing, and personalized content—while also strengthening teacher capacity and enabling real-time, data-driven decisions for stakeholders at all levels.
A core component of MB is enhancing the state’s ICT infrastructure through content development, training, usability improvements, and strong governance mechanisms. The mission focuses on three foundational pillars of education:
Reducing dropout rates among girls and equipping 10 lakh girl students with digital learning resources.
Closing the gender gap in learning through girl-specific pedagogy and curriculum.
Improving learning outcomes and board exam performance across key grades.
MB operates under a 3+1 year MoU with the Rajasthan Council of Education and the Government of Rajasthan, aiming to empower girls in all 33 districts of the state.
