Kalvi40 improves learning outcomes in rural government schools through simple digital tools, classroom support, and community engagement.
Kalvi40 is an initiative by BumbleB Trust, focused on improving learning outcomes in government schools across rural Tamil Nadu.
This initiative brings together simple digital learning tools, classroom support, and community engagement to make education more accessible and meaningful. We work closely with schools, teachers, and local communities to create environments where students understand concepts clearly and build genuine confidence.
"Many children in rural government schools were attending regularly but struggling to truly understand what they were being taught."
— Founder, Kalvi40
In 2019, Prem Kumar Gokuladasan - an engineer and MBA professional with 19 years of global experience - returned from Europe with one mission: to use technology to solve the single biggest barrier holding back rural Tamil Nadu children: the absence of quality, accessible education.
Kalvi40 was born from the simple belief that every child - regardless of where they are born - deserves access to learning that prepares them for life.
Igniting the rural children's minds by supporting their basic education in a holistic approach. To enable basic education for children studying in rural and remote schools, giving the necessary strong foundation in the direction towards the complete self-development of the child through a holistic approach.
Millions of rural children across India and the globe, especially those relying on free education, still need to be served with more relevant, meaningful, and varied learning opportunities to truly become educated and uplift themselves economically in the future. BumbleB Trust focuses on using technology-based learning, frameworks, and a variety of methods to serve 10,000 rural school across India by 2030.
A team of educators, technologists, program managers, and community coordinators united by one purpose.
