Bengaluru, 26th September 2024: CherriLearn, a Mangaluru-based impact EdTech company, has expanded its reach to the northeastern region of India, providing its innovative educational platform to tribal students at the Saraswati Vidya Mandir (SVM) school in East Jayanta Hills, Meghalaya. This initiative, made possible by Sathwa Spa’s sponsor, aims to offer high-quality, interactive education to students from low-income backgrounds at no cost. Sathwa Spa, a chain of spas headquartered in Mangaluru, employs a significant number of individuals from the Northeast and is committed to giving back to the region through this educational initiative.
SVM school, located approximately 11 hours from Shillong, the capital city of Meghalaya, caters to 155 students from 1st to 7th standard, all of whom are from tribal communities. The students will benefit from CherriLearn’s premium educational content, aligned with the NCERT English medium syllabus.
Dr. Anantha Krishna Bhat, Founder, and President of SVM School, remarked, ”From Dakshina Kannada, Mr Shrinidhi has come to this school in Meghalaya. His new innovation captures the hearts and minds of the young students in our school. They are very happy to see it and are very happy to understand it. They are also extremely happy to follow the new techniques that Shrindhi, a very young man of only 21, has innovated. It is our fortune. Today was the first experiment. I observed all our young children looking at their own mobile phones to find out and learn about this new technique. So, from here onwards also, I am happy and confident that our children will learn many things from all over the globe.”
The implementation of this initiative took place in the presence of the school’s President, Principal Secretary, teachers, students, and several parents. During this event, CherriLearn representatives explained the features of the CherriLearn app and assisted in installing it on the students’ devices, providing them with premium access.
“We are thrilled to bring CherriLearn to the tribal students of Meghalaya,” said Shrinidhi RS, Founder of CherriLearn. “Our mission is to democratize quality education, and this initiative sponsored by Sathwa Spa enables us to reach and impact the lives of students who need it the most. We believe this will be a significant step in their educational journey, providing them with the resources they need to succeed.”
The students at SVM school will now be able to use CherriLearn both at school and at home, enhancing their learning experience and ensuring continuous access to quality educational content. For many of these students, this marks their first encounter with such advanced educational technology.
