About Sampark Foundation : Impact & Scale

Sampark Foundation is dedicated to revolutionizing education through innovative solutions that empower educators and uplift students in underserved communities in India. Recognized globally for our impactful initiatives, we strive to foster educational excellence and sustainable development.

The Unsolved Problem

In India, the government-led primary school education system faces numerous challenges, resulting in poor learning outcomes for over 100 million children attending more than 100,000 schools. Both third-party research and our assessments indicate that most children, even in grade 5, struggle with basic skills such as addition, subtraction, and constructing simple sentences in their local language. Despite the government's doubling of investment in education over the past decade, learning outcomes have continued to show a concerning decline. This underscores the pressing need for an innovative approach to bring about widespread transformation in learning outcomes.

$1 Innovation

Sampark Foundation was founded by Anupama Nayar and Vineet Nayar (Former Vice Chairman and CEO of HCL Technologies and Author of Employees First Customer Second) with the belief that “frugal innovation” along with relentless execution in partnership with the government can drive large-scale change in learning outcomes. This thought led our founders to give up whatever they were doing in 2013 and dedicate their lives to leading this change. Design thinking with a focus on innovation in classroom transactions gave birth to Sampark Smart Shala TM, which is a learning outcome-focused initiative that uses a sound box with a voice mascot called “Sampark Didi” along with music and songs to teach English using LSRW and whole language approach, Innovatively designed TLMs to teach Math from concrete to abstract, BOT enabled mobile App for teachers that works without internet and multimedia fun workbooks with QR codes for children at less than $1 per child per annum.

The 1.8+ Crore Impact

Our journey of learning by working with 1.4 Lakh+ rural schools, 1.8+ Crore children in 8 states (Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal, Uttarakhand, Maharashtra & Rajasthan) is just that – a learning journey – because problems at scale can only be solved with patience, perseverance, and lots of passion. Today we train 8.5 Lakhs+ teachers each year at block level and they are our true partners of change and responsible for the encouraging results we have seen through third party assessments.
