“Not only this, Himachal is continuously reviewing the learning progress of children. For this, Samagra Shiksha has launched Nipun Pragati Chatbot under Vidya Samiksha Kendra. A baseline survey also was conducted in schools in October to evaluate the learning level of children,” said a Samagra Shiksha spokesperson.

The spokesperson further said that community participation was also being ensured by Samagra Shiksha to increase basic literacy and numeracy among children.
