While live video classes have become the new norm, transitioning to remote teaching and learning through live classes hasn’t been as easy for government schools in many states.
This collaboration fostered by ConveGenius with other stake holders endeavors to prove instrumental in heralding remote learning across the state of Himachal Pradesh and will help in bridging learning and skill gaps by promoting educational equity and achievable learning outcomes for the students of the region.
ConveGenius personalized and adaptive learning platform helps students learn through an individualized and contextual approach that focuses directly on the needs of the students as well as the teachers’, aiding in a systemic pedagogical transformation.
The AI-enabled solution is running on WhatsApp and other existing applications, and the robust online teaching program for government school students has ensured that school closures don’t have an adverse effect on their learning process.
The WhatsApp bot used in the program, developed by ConveGenius, is the first instance of AI bots being used at such an extensive scale in government schools for continuous learning.
Speaking about the inspiring initiative, Jairaj Bhattacharya and Shashank Pandey, Cofounders of ConveGenius said their organization as part of its response during the COVID-19 pandemic has launched its B2C strategy to respond to the trying times and crisis.
‘We are happy to partner with Samagra and the state of Himachal to provide technology-based assessments that will form the backbone of our launches to deliver AI-based learning to the students of H.P.
The responses were hugely unexpected as almost 100,000 students and 31,000 teachers registered within a week, they said.
Commenting further, they said ‘We are expecting to reach the target of 5 million students in the next 5 months.’

‘We have on-boarded numerous communities to maximize our student reach and to make this program a true revolution in Himachal.’

The assessment was first of its kind and was an enjoyable and engaging experience for our students as more than 70% of the problems and questions related to Mathematics and Hindi respectively were resolved correctly.
I wish to congratulate the Education Department for bringing new innovations to help students learn and grow even during this lockdown.
About – ConveGenius
ConveGenius is an Ed-Tech social enterprise that has a suite of personalized and adaptive learning solutions.
ConveGenius uses research in the science of learning, AI and Nudge theory to enhance the quality of education in India and bridge learning gaps for the masses.
ConveGenius aims to offer superior learning outcomes for K-12. Its products are aimed at assessing the current learning levels and create gamified and personalized learning journeys for every child.
In India, majority of learners lie in the remedial section. Remedial learners face obstacles in learning because they don’t find solutions catering to their needs.
The ‘No Detention Policy’ introduced by Right to Education Act automatically promotes kids up to std VIII, irrespective of the level they fall in.
ConveGenius makes effort to uproot such gaps and cater to the remedial learners who do not have any affordable solutions, unlike achievers who are intrinsically motivated to learn without any nudges.
ConveGenius works with schools, communities and grassroots organisations to create sustainable educational impact by utilizing their adaptive technology-based solution and nudged learning.
This is a learning style where kids are motivated to learn through external triggers or nudges.
