Deeply honoured to see Jharkhand’s commitment towards strengthening English literacy being recognized and amplified at the highest level.

Recognition like this strengthens our collective commitment towards improving learning outcomes for children.

What began as a mission in classrooms is now becoming a larger movement for children’s learning...

We are deeply thankful to every donor, partner, teacher, and supporter whose trust and contribution continue to help us reach thousands of children with quality English learning opportunities.

It is a matter of immense pride that young students from Jharkhand have showcased their talent on a national stage and brought laurels to the state. The winners of the State-level Foundational Literacy and Numeracy Championship have demonstrated remarkable strong foundational learning and excellence at the National Word Power Championship in Mumbai.
I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all students from Jharkhand for their outstanding achievements. I also commend their dedicated teachers and parents whose guidance and support have made this success possible.
The Government of Jharkhand remains committed to strengthening foundational education and providing opportunities for our children to gain exposure beyond their immediate surroundings. I am confident that these young achievers will continue to scale greater heights and inspire many more across the state.

The #DoSEL, Government of Jharkhand, is continuously making efforts to develop foundational literacy and numeracy skills among children. Inspired by the renowned Word Power Championship for English, the concept of an #FLN_Championship has been developed in the state. This FLN Championship will be a #milestone for children in Classes 2 to 5 to showcase their skills in English, Maths and Hindi. The championship is scheduled to take place in March 2025. This ambitious championship aims to ensure that a wide range of students can participate in the state-level championship and showcase their foundational literacy and numeracy skills.
