It's that time of the year again.
DARPAN — A moment to reflect on our journey, align as one team, strengthen our partnerships, and present our work with clarity and purpose.
That's what Darpan is about. Not just a gathering, a mirror held up to our collective journey.

Something much bigger is unfolding.

In 2023–24, only 37 students from Janjgir-Champa district passed the National Merit cm Means Scholarship Exam.

In 2024–25, 895 students did.

That’s a 23x increase. In one district. In one year.

Enrolment rose from 358 to 4,158.
Student appearances went from 348 to 3,557.

This didn’t happen because students suddenly became smarter.

It happened because teachers received support.
Assessment data became faster.
And the system started working *with* the people trying to make education work.

The NMMS scholarship provides ₹12,000 annually to meritorious students from economically weaker families.
In districts like Janjgir-Champa, that amount is not just support.
It can change whether a child continues education at all.

This is what targeted intervention can look like.
This is Vinoba in Chhattisgarh.

What would you do with data like this if you were a district education officer?

A dream trip to NASA.
A memory for life.
A reminder that opportunity can change everything.

In July 2025, 16,000 students from Pune Zilla Parishad appeared for a screening test for the opportunity to visit ISRO and NASA. Of them, 25 students were selected for a 10-day learning tour to NASA, while 50 others got the opportunity to visit ISRO.

These students had no private tutors. No coaching classes.
What they had was commitment, curiosity, supportive parents, and teachers who showed up every day — using the Vinoba App to track progress, identify learning gaps, and help them grow.

For many of these Nanhe Sitare, this was more than a trip.
It was a moment of belief.

A belief that government school students can dream bigger, aim higher, and go farther when the right support reaches them.

This was not luck.
It was the result of systematic efforts by students, teachers, parents, Pune District Administration, and Vinoba.

Share this story and help more government school students believe in how far they can go.

India spends Rs 55,000 per student per year on government school education. Teachers are well-paid, well-qualified, and present every day.
So why do 56% of late-primary students still struggle with basic reading and numeracy? (World Bank, 2024)
The answer is not resources. It is motivation.
Teachers in government schools manage 40 to 60 students, do a lot of paper work.And they do it with almost no recognition, no peer support.
Vinoba addresses this directly through peer community, recognition events, a platform that helps teachers see the impact of their work. When teachers see their work making a difference, something shifts.
321,823 teacher hours saved in 2024-25. And 645,733 teacher hours saved in 2025-26. 1,735 recognition events. 6741+ teachers felicitated.
The fix for India's learning crisis is not more spending. It is making sure that the spending already happening actually reaches the classroom. And that starts with the teacher.
What do you think deserves more attention in education?

The Vinoba app is not just another tool. It is the support system teachers never had.
Here are 5 things teachers come back for every single month:
1. Content library: Weekly lesson plans, FLN materials, government circulars. No more WhatsApp hunting.
2. Peer community: 482,891+ posts shared in 2025-26. Teacher to teacher. Real classroom ideas.
3. Recognition: Post of the Month. Felicitation events. A stage that is actually theirs.
4. OMR assessments: 1,364,539 sheets scanned this year year. No more manual marking.
5. Admin dashboard: District officers tracking real outcomes in real time, at the block and cluster level.
This is phygital education. And it is working.

She was your first teacher. She taught you how to speak, how to ask questions, how to try again when you got it wrong.

For millions of mothers across Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, and Madhya Pradesh, sending their child to a government school is an act of hope.

They trust that the system will show up for their children.

At Vinoba, we work to make sure it does: through motivated teachers, better learning outcomes, and a community that does not let any child fall behind.

Happy Mother's Day. To the first teachers, and the ones who believe in them.

Tag a mother who believed in education.

Teacher Mr Shyamsingh Nureti teaches at a Govt School, Binta, in Bastar district. His students used to feel hesitant, unseen.

So he did something small but powerful: he recorded their best moments and uploaded the videos to YouTube.

When children saw themselves on screen, their confidence changed overnight.

But the real turning point? The Vinoba app. He found recognition, peer learning, and a community that finally clapped for his work.

He won the Post of the Month award. His CEO noticed. His students thrived.

One teacher. One belief. One platform. This is the Vinoba story.

Share this with a teacher who deserves more recognition.

Reading expands your world, fuels creativity, strengthens the mind, and sharpens communication. Mr. Samadhan Shiketod, a teacher at ZP School Raghuchiwadi in Dharashiv district, wanted his students to grow up imbibing all these.

It pained him that his students were not reading books, especially at home. So he decided to take the library to their homes, in a unique way.

He began visiting their homes and helped each family to create a small library. He made parents aware of the importance of reading at a young age, and personally ensured that students had access to the right books.

Increased reading habits among students cultivated deeper focus and patience, resulting into remarkable improvement in academic performance too.

On World Book Day, OLF stands in support of the hundreds of government teachers who are striving to build reading habits among children in their own innovative ways.
