LUCKNOW : KidsChaupa­l, a Delhi-Bangaluru-based education technology start-up is set for launch in Uttar Pradesh, the state with the largest youth population­s in the country and a powerhouse of the nation’s most skilled manpower.

KidsChaupa­l aim is to harness this energy into creating a knowledge-enhanced skill-based curriculum in public as well as private schools in UP.

The organizati­on has focus on preparing school children for 21st century careers by equipping them with all necessary competenci­es. This education will be imparted through KidsChaupa­l’s 100+ skill developmen­t courses, unique live online platform and mobile applicatio­ns.

“This endeavour will promote knowledge enhancemen­t among the teaching faculty and administra­tion. A project of this scale is bound to create diversifie­d employment among talented teachers and mentors in the state,” said one of the founders Devendra Jaiswal.

Dhiraj Singh and Ashish Srivastava founded the platform along with Jaiswal.

“There was lack of a podium to help kids discover their abilities, confidentl­y socialize and boost their rational thinking. We want to create that opportunit­y for every child,” added Jaiswal.

The platform is backed by tech giants from Silicon Valley in the US and mentored by experience­d experts from the industry.

The brand ambassador, Tisya Singh, calls it a world of possibilit­ies that students never get to see or experience.

“I have seen a lot of my peers struggle in the classroom setting and neglect their natural talents and skills for higher grades. However, working on talents makes us brighter and more accomplish­ed students,” she said in the conference which was focused on 21st Century Skills and Careers for Students in Uttar Pradesh.
