What Is the Samridh Gram Computing Programme?

A ready-to-deploy, 6-month digital skills programme that your school can launch for village students in Classes 7–9 — with no internet dependency, minimal infrastructure, and a clear pathway to earning.

✅ Works Anywhere: All 24 weeks run fully offline in a shared lab (2–3 computers, 4–5 students per device). Every tool is free and open-source, pre-loaded on a pendrive. Your school does not need a broadband connection to deliver this programme.
📚 Built on CBSE CT+AI: This programme is the livelihood application layer of the new CBSE Computational Thinking & AI curriculum (Classes 3–8). Students consolidate all 4 CT pillars and meet all 7 Class 6–8 AI competencies — while simultaneously building skills they can use to earn income within weeks of completing the course.

Certification — Proposed Approach

A clear, school-embedded certification model that carries real weight — backed by Bal Bharati Public Schools and Mashmari, with an optional upgrade pathway for schools with higher demand.

✅ Standard — Included in Every Batch
Baseline Certificate · Issued by Bal Bharati Public Schools & Mashmari
Every student who completes the 6-month programme and passes the Month 6 capstone assessment receives a jointly issued Certificate in Digital Computing & Livelihood Skills, signed and endorsed by Bal Bharati Public Schools (Child Education Society) and Mashmari Consultants Pvt. Ltd.

The certificate is aligned to the CBSE Computational Thinking & AI Curriculum (Classes 6–8) and confirms competency across all three livelihood tracks. It is issued digitally (downloadable PDF with QR verification) and in print at the graduation ceremony. This certificate is included as part of the standard programme — no additional fee or external registration required.

For Class 9 students in CBSE-affiliated schools, the programme also maps to CBSE IT 402 (Skill Education) — the school's IT teacher can use the programme's practicals and project work directly toward the Class 10 board skill subject assessment, giving these students a second, board-level credential at no extra cost.

✓ What Students Get

  • Jointly issued certificate — BBPS + Mashmari
  • QR-verified digital copy (downloadable anytime)
  • Printed certificate at graduation ceremony
  • Portfolio of 6 real project deliverables
  • CBSE CT+AI curriculum competency record
  • Class 9 students: feeds into CBSE IT 402 assessment

✓ What Schools Get

  • Ready-made programme — no curriculum design needed
  • Mashmari provides all content, instructor orientation, and Avtar Analytics tracking
  • BBPS endorsement adds institutional credibility
  • A tangible parent-facing outcome story: "your child can earn"
  • Repeatable batch model — run twice a year
⭐ Optional Upgrade — Available Where There Is Strong Local Demand

For schools or communities where students and families want a nationally portable, government-recognised credential alongside the BBPS–Mashmari certificate, Mashmari can facilitate enrolment under NSDC / PMKVY 4.0 — IT-ITeS Sector Skill Council (QP: SSC/Q2212 — Domestic Data Entry Operator). This requires a minimum subscription level and is coordinated by Mashmari through an empanelled Training Partner. Students who opt in receive an additional NSDC certificate accessible via DigiLocker — recognised by employers across India and eligible for government job basic IT requirements. This upgrade is offered as an add-on and does not change the core programme delivery. Speak to your Mashmari contact to assess whether local demand and student profile justify activating this pathway.

🔗 What This Means for Your School
The CBSE CT+AI curriculum builds strong cognitive foundations but does not define livelihood outcomes. This programme is the bridge. By running Samridh Gram Computing, your school gives the CBSE CT+AI framework a concrete, parent-visible result: students who complete the programme can earn. The programme also gives your school a compelling story for parents: the school does not just teach computing — it prepares children to participate in the digital economy.

Onboarding Your School

Mashmari handles the heavy lifting. Here is what your school needs to confirm and prepare before Batch 1 can begin.

📋 Mashmari's Role: Mashmari provides the complete programme package — lesson plans, offline content on Doot, software pre-loaded on pendrive, instructor orientation (2-day), Avtar Analytics tracking, student workbooks, and the jointly issued certificate. Your school provides the venue, the students, and a committed instructor.
✅ School Onboarding Checklist
  • 1
    Confirm student cohortIdentify 8–12 students from Classes 7–9 (batch works best at 10). Obtain parent/guardian consent. Ensure students can commit to 2 hours/day, 5 days/week for 6 months. Mashmari will provide a sample consent and enrolment form.
  • 2
    Confirm lab availabilityDedicate a room with 2–3 functional computers for programme hours (after school or a free period slot). Mashmari's team will audit the machines remotely or in person and install all required software via pendrive — LibreOffice, GIMP, Scratch 3 Offline, and Klavaro Typing Tutor. No internet required for installation or delivery.
  • 3
    Nominate an instructorAssign your computer teacher or identify a local Class 12 pass youth with basic computing ability. Mashmari runs a 2-day instructor orientation covering lesson plans, classroom management for shared-device settings, assessment rubrics, and how to use the Doot content player. No prior teaching experience with AI or coding is required for Months 1–4.
  • 4
    Print student workbooksMashmari supplies the print-ready student workbook PDF (one per student). Schools print locally — approximately ₹250–350 per student for the full 6-month set. In a no-internet environment, printed materials are the student's primary resource alongside the Doot screen.
  • 5
    Plan the graduation ceremonySchedule a ceremony in Month 6, Week 24. Invite a Panchayat representative, local business owner, or parent panel to witness capstone presentations. Mashmari provides the jointly issued BBPS–Mashmari certificates for distribution at this event. The ceremony is a community-facing moment — it signals to parents and the village that this programme produces real outcomes.
  • 6
    Confirm NSDC upgrade intent (optional)If your school community has strong demand for a nationally portable NSDC/PMKVY certificate alongside the BBPS–Mashmari certificate, inform your Mashmari contact at onboarding. This requires a minimum subscription tier and Aadhaar-linked student enrolment (students 14+ qualify directly). Mashmari coordinates the empanelled Training Partner linkage — your school has no additional paperwork burden.
