In a time when India’s education system is being re-examined for its ability to serve the last mile, a quiet revolution is taking shape. At the heart of this movement is the eNalanda Foundation, a bold, youth-led nonprofit spearheaded by Aryann Khokha, a student of The Shri Ram School, Gurgaon. What began as a school project related to app development has now matured into a growing force for educational equity, digital inclusion, and grassroots empowerment.
Driven by a mission to democratize access to quality digital education, eNalanda is rethinking the way rural learners engage with STEM. Its flagship digital platform, www.enalanda.in is an ecosystem that channels fundraising, advocacy & cross-sector partnerships into one unified effort. The Foundation collaborates with NGOs, community educators, government schools and policy makers to tackle issues ranging from the digital divide and gender-based learning gaps to the broader crisis of pedagogical relevance in under-resourced classrooms.
At its core, the eNalanda Foundation is a nonprofit born from a powerful conviction: that every child, regardless of geography or socioeconomic background, deserves access to quality digital education. Rooted in the belief that inclusive learning should not be a privilege, eNalanda is committed to igniting scientific curiosity and innovation among under-resourced schoolchildren across India’s rural heartlands. eNalanda is not just a foundation! It is a movement built on trust, impact, and shared purpose.
At eNalanda, our mission is simple yet powerful:
Transforming Education for the Next Generation! eNalanda is here to address one of the biggest challenges in today’s education system: making learning meaningful, practical, and fun. We are bridging the gap between theoretical lessons and real-world applications with innovate activity based labs, online learning games and spreading awareness about curiosity based learning for unreached and unserved schools for underprivileged children.
Increases Accessibility: For students with diverse learning styles or limited access to quality resources, gamification ensures more inclusive learning experiences. eNalanda bridges the digital divide by providing gamified content accessible to students with minimal tech exposure. This inclusive approach ensures that no child is left behind in their pursuit of science.
Improve Learning Outcomes:
Gamification helps students retain information and grasp abstract scientific concepts more efficiently. In underserved areas, the eNalanda initiative has introduced digital learning tools Teachers report noticeable improvements in students’ comprehension and performance. eNalanda’s efforts show that gamification can be a game-changer in education equity.
Why eNalanda Stands Out
What sets eNalanda apart is its commitment to reimagining how children learn especially in communities where access has long been unequal. The platform transforms traditional science instruction into engaging, curriculum-aligned games that simplify complex concepts through play. By making learning joyful and experiential, eNalanda ensures that students are not only absorbing knowledge but actively enjoying the process. Beyond digital access, the Foundation offers hands-on support to schools in setting up activity-based science labs that spark curiosity and nurture innovation from an early age. Aligned with the vision of the Atal Innovation Mission, eNalanda is determined to bring world-class learning tools to the country’s most underserved learners.
Our Vision: A Future Where Every Child Learns Without Limits
At eNalanda Foundation, we envision a future where innovative education becomes the great equalizer—bridging deep-rooted inequalities and empowering every child to realize their full potential. Our mission is ambitious yet urgent: to unlock access to quality learning for over 10 million students across rural India.
To bring this vision to life, we actively mobilize resources and design tailored fundraising campaigns for grassroots NGOs doing transformational work on the ground. By connecting these credible local actors with corporate partners, CSR teams, philanthropic institutions, and government agencies, we help align funding with high-impact social projects—driving scalable, measurable, and sustainable change.
Our work is deeply rooted in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with current focus areas spanning Education and Digital Literacy, Livelihood and Skill Development, and Child Rights and Protection.
In a crowded sector, eNalanda stands apart. It brings together transparency, a laser-sharp grassroots focus, and a tech-enabled platform that amplifies reach and results—ensuring that good intentions translate into lasting impact.
