Impact of the OSAAT and ODiSI Programs

Over the past 18 years in operation, OSAAT has rebuilt and expanded over 50 schools in rural areas in India. 17 more schools are work in progress.

More than 10,000 students benefit with a classroom, proper workspaces, sanitation facilities, kitchens, drinking water, libraries, and playgrounds.

Better schools and infra has seen increased school enrollment and attendance numbers, especially for girls. State governments have seen the successes and have increased funding for further enhancing the infrastructure.

Then Karnataka Education Minister Shri Suresh Kumar recognizes and offers to OSAAT a partnership on all its programs (construction as well as ODiSI)

ODiSI

The ODiSI Program was initiated in June 2021 to bridge the loss of school hours and learning tools during Covid pandemic lockdown. The program is innovative and has shown measurable impact. (in 2020-21: 176 students benefited, completing 100+ assignments)

Preselected schools with 100 to 150 students were provided with laptops for teachers and IPads for students. With software from Khan Academy, Google Classroom and YouTube.

  • Program approach is to motivate teachers and students to use ODiSI, in a self-sustainable manner, without external intervention
  • ODiSI brings in a financial operational model where cost is directly related to outcomes instead of capital or operational investments

Proof of Concept

Details of first successful ODiSI project:

  • PoC successfully running in 12 rural schools – Malur and Hunsur Taluks of Karnataka
  • 1500 students impacted in 12 rural schools
  • In a sample baseline, science, math, english performance improved by 20% within 5 weeks
  • Malur Girls using ODiSI ranked second amongst 250 schools across Asia in a third party Mathematics Application trial.
