Project Overview
Project Name: AI Anganwadi (Smart Anganwadi Initiative)
Location: Morti Village, Muradnagar, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India
Launched On: 6 August 2024
Initiated & Sponsored By: Rotary International District 3012, Innogical Innovation
Technology Partner: Vanijya Technology
Domain: GovTech · EdTech · AI for Social Impact
Background & Problem Statement
Traditional Anganwadi centres in rural and semi-urban India often face challenges such as:
Low student attendance
Limited engagement using conventional teaching methods
Difficulty in monitoring learning progress and daily activities
Lack of digital exposure for early childhood learners
The objective of this project was to modernize early childhood education and care by introducing technology-assisted, data-driven learning in Anganwadis—without disrupting their grassroots nature.
Solution Implemented
The AI Anganwadi project introduced a digitally enabled classroom supported by a centralized monitoring system.
Key Components
Interactive Digital Blackboard
Touch-enabled smart screen
Animated learning modules (Hindi, English, Mathematics, General Knowledge)
Audio-visual storytelling for children aged 3–6
AI-Assisted Monitoring Dashboard
Real-time tracking of daily classroom activities
Curriculum planning and monthly activity display
Data-driven insights to optimize learning and attendance
Smart Classroom Environment
Renovated classrooms with child-friendly design
Visual learning aids painted on walls
Improved seating and infrastructure
Role & Contribution
As part of the software & technology implementation, the project focused on:
Designing a centralized digital system to manage Anganwadi learning content
Enabling real-time activity monitoring through an admin dashboard
Supporting scalability for future Anganwadi digitisation
Ensuring usability for non-technical educators and Anganwadi staff
Launch & Recognition
The initiative was inaugurated by the Governor of Uttar Pradesh, Anandiben Patel, in the presence of senior government officials, district administration, and Rotary dignitaries.
The project was widely recognized as India’s first AI-enabled Anganwadi, receiving coverage from national media including ThePrint.
Measurable Impact
Within 7 days of implementation, the Anganwadi observed:
Attendance increase: from 35 to 42 children
Zero late arrivals reported
8 new student admissions in under a week
Improved parental engagement—parents began dropping children early
Enhanced learning outcomes through interactive content
Teachers reported that children were more attentive, participative, and enthusiastic compared to traditional teaching methods.
User Experience Highlights
Children actively interacted with animated lessons (“A is for Apple”, “C is for Cat”)
Learning became play-based and joyful
Parents observed improved curiosity and storytelling at home
Anganwadi staff shifted from manual follow-ups to guided digital instruction
Technology Stack (High-Level)
Interactive Touch Display Hardware
Cloud-based Content & Monitoring System
Mobile & Web Dashboard for Admin Control
Modular Learning Content Architecture

Why This Project Matters
This case study demonstrates how technology, when thoughtfully applied, can:
Drive social change at the grassroots level
Improve public education infrastructure
Bridge the digital divide in early childhood learning
Serve as a replicable national model for smart Anganwadis
Key Takeaway
“The AI-based Anganwadi is more than just a facility; it’s a hope for childhood care and development.”
