Elevator pitch

—

What is your solution?

I am trying to create a virtual boat teacher that can explain certain topics to students and allows student to interact and ask question to him in a live class and which will also be capable of categorizing students based on their test score and suggest diagnosis lectures.

This can be achieved by doing following task:

Splitting the entire video lecture in to micro - Video modules.
Creating a shared QnA library.
Creative a conditional response system using micro - video modules

So, if students ask question in City 1 in some class which is added to QnA library and can be answered by Boat teacher in other class in some City 2.

If solution is not found in library it can solved and can be added to QnA library for future use.

and virtual boat teacher will be able to react according to response or question received by student

What specific problem are you trying to solve?

I am wanting to use technology to deploy virtual boat teaches in Rural India which will enable students who are currently underserved to get better early education which will provide them a better and strong educational foundation and it will eventually lead to growth and bring them and there out of poverty.

According to " 2021 State of education report for India: No Teacher No Class by UNESCO " India has 110,000 single - teacher school and as per data reported by National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration state of Uttar Pradesh alone has 22,223 single - teacher schools.

69% of schools in India are based in rural area and serves rural community. Due to rapid population growth, there is a shortage of quality teacher which is affecting rural students.

Teaches from government school are assigned some civil duty which are not part of school because of such duty they are mostly absent. 32% of teacher in Uttar Pradesh are not present in class or on leave on any given day because of such reasons Teacher student is usually 150:1

One Teacher, 150 Students and So Runs a Primary School in Rural UP (thewire.in)

Who does your solution serve? In what ways will the solution impact their lives?

My solution is mainly focused on student between age 10 - 18 living in rural parts of India who does not have access to good experienced teachers.

Such students have parents who are mostly labor, farmers, construction workers or contract workers who does not earn enough money to send their kids to private school nether they are left with enough time to focus on their kids. They were also part of this very same education system.

Such problem leads to worst leaning outcome and students are not prepared for college level courses. sometimes they are forced to do labor work due to lack of proper education. They don't have proper guidance and some children are attracted towards wrong paths which leads to higher crime rates.

What steps have you taken to understand the needs of the population you want to serve?

I have travelled and stayed in rural area for 4 years I completed my high school from such school and I started my early Education in rural school. But I was fortunate enough to be born at family which was able to send me to a private school. Now I see my cousin's kids, kids from my village and my community going through this problem.

I shared this solution with my teachers from private school who helped me to learn more about teaching process they use they believe this a nice Idea but very heard to accomplish.

I left my CBSE board privet school after my 10th Grade, I decided to dig deeper by enrolling in one of such school for my high school by going against my parents and eventually decide to get into politics to fix this problem which turned out to be not so good solution. It was my 2019 when I started looking for solution in words technology it took 2 Years to completely figure out which technologies and process has to be used.

I shifted to United Stated recently to learn more about these tech and startup management.
