Sunita Yadav, a school dropout, grew up without notebooks for homework and parents who never asked about her studies. Today, her daughter Rishika learns in a transformed environment. The same government school system now provides teaching-learning materials. The teachers train parents to support learning at home, and the village panchayat champions education. When a parent-teacher meeting taught Sunita how to help with homework, she changed her routine. “Whenever I cook food, I make her sit beside me and do homework,” she explains.

In Madhya Pradesh, Bal Choupal sessions have introduced play-based learning to families, and in Bihar, loudspeakers broadcast slogans like “Apan Bihar, NIPUN Bihar,” turning FLN into a community rallying cry. Give this support to five crore children in early grades, and NIPUN Bharat shifts from mission to movement. The way to get there is to start with the community.
