Google.org Backs Rocket Learning's AI Tutor for India's Underserved Kids

At Google for India, Rocket Learning announced support from Google.org to create a personalized AI tutor for underserved children. This initiative aims to enhance early childhood education and improve the future prospects of millions of Indian children by leveraging advanced AI technology.

At the 10th edition of Google for India, Rocket Learning unveiled its partnership with Google.org to develop a novel AI tutor designed specifically for parents and educators of underserved children. The ambitious project will create 'Saheli,' an AI-powered educational buddy, available as a web application tailored to the unique learning paces of children ages three to six.

Google.org has committed to facilitating this initiative by deploying a team of its Fellows to work on Saheli, marking Rocket Learning as the second Indian recipient of such Fellowship support. The initiative, reinforced by a $1.5 million grant from Google.org's AI for Global Goals Impact Challenge, aims to extend modern, personalized educational experiences across ten Indian states.

By harnessing advanced AI/ML systems capable of grading over 50,000 homework submissions daily, with a reach to 3 million children, Rocket Learning aspires to touch 50 million lives in five years. This groundbreaking technology, envisioned as a state-of-the-art Gen AI use case, offers new horizons in India's Digital India initiative, aspiring to make quality early education universally accessible and foster the nation's educational front on a global scale.
