Our approach to Learning
Learning cannot improve with textbooks alone. Children learn best when they read, experiment, explore, build, question, and create.
ILP’s primary methodology for transforming learning outcomes is the Multi-Dimensional Learning Space (MDLS) approach. This framework emphasizes creating an engaged classroom where teachers and students are actively involved in learning, sharing, questioning, and experiencing content. MDLS aims to foster curiosity, make learning spontaneous, and use varied teaching and learning methods to cater to diverse student needs. A key principle of ILP’s content philosophy is that learning is a continuous process built upon a child’s existing knowledge and contextualized to their environment.
All MDLS resources are designed to be easy to use, open-source, and packaged, allowing teachers to customize them to their style and students’ current knowledge, reducing dependency on ILP over time.
The MDLS approach encompasses several key programs:
Teachers are at the heart of everything we do
Every ILP program starts with the teacher. We train teachers to use our tools and methods, gather their feedback continuously, and help them operationalize each program in their own classroom context. When teachers are equipped and confident, the entire school transforms
The learning journey — from preschool to secondary
Anganwadis
Building the foundation through play
Transform Anganwadi centres into vibrant, play-based learning spaces that prepare children for primary school.
Anganwadi worker training
Intensive training on child-friendly teaching methods — activity-based learning with a focus on play, music, and interaction. Building skills in discipline, hygiene, confidence, and basic literacy.
Teaching-learning materials
Engaging play materials created using locally available resources. Classrooms redesigned for interaction rather than rote learning.
Parent involvement
Mothers’ committees actively monitor and support preschool quality. Parents are trained to extend learning at home through simple daily activities.
Government partnerships
Scaled through MOU with Karnataka to 3,310 Anganwadi centres in Kalaburagi district, reaching 105,000+ children.
Grades 1–5
Strong roots in reading, language & math
Ensure every child achieves foundational literacy and numeracy — the building blocks for all future learning.
Village Learning Centers (FLN)
Community-based centres run by Vidya Saathis support 20-30 children each in reading, language, and math — aligned with the Nipun Bharat program. Progress measured using ASER methodology.
Child-friendly libraries
Bilingual libraries with books colour-coded by reading level (Hippocampus GROWBY model). Students progress at their own pace through structured reading programs.
Attendance & teacher support
Para-teachers fill gaps where there are shortages. ILP advocates with School Monitoring Committees for permanent recruitment while maintaining regular attendance.
Digital content
Open-source interactive lessons with audio and video for Math, Science, and Social Science — in 7 Indian languages. Featured on the Government of India’s Diksha portal.
Grades 6–12
Multi-dimensional learning in action
Transform classrooms into spaces where students explore, experiment, create, and build skills for life beyond school.
Lab-in-a-Box science kits
Affordable kits for Grades 5-10 covering 200+ concepts in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology with 150+ experiments. Low-cost materials mean students experiment without fear. Manuals in 6 languages.
Digital classrooms
Smart Classrooms with laptops, projectors, and speakers. “World in the Classroom” uses Google Earth for immersive History and Geography learning.
ICT & digital literacy
Two-year self-learning computer curriculum covering 30+ Linux tools — from image editing and Scratch programming to data skills and simulations. Self-learning videos in local languages.
Hands-on electronics (with IIT Madras)
Portable electronic kits with built-in power, sensors, and measurement tools. 70% hands-on, 30% theory, with nearly 300 experiments. Reaching 400,000+ students.
