"A Great Platform for Digital Learning!" I've been using the DIKSHA app for a few months now, and it's a fantastic tool for both teachers and students. The content is aligned with the NCERT curriculum, and the lessons are presented in a simple and engaging way. What I appreciate the most is the availability of resources in multiple Indian languages, making it accessible to a wide audience. The QR code scanning feature in textbooks is very convenient, and the video lessons are high quality."

"All the chapters are very good. Exercise fabulous for the students. Also, the teacher is taking part in doing actions reading, helping the student in their work, asking students to repeat the words and pronounce the words correctly. Students learn a lot by looking at the pictures, like knowing about birds, animals, fruits, vegetables, counting numbers, colors, parts of the body and their uses, where student will be interested. Also learning and tracing of alphabets and storytelling is good."
