Rhapsody – Creative Intelligence Delivered receives two Gold Awards. It wins the Regional Award (Asia) and the Discipline Award for Arts & Humanities. Rhapsody is one of India’s first initiatives to successfully integrate ART with STEM education, primarily using Music and then expanding to Visual Art. Founded in 2013 it has now grown to embrace nearly 406 primary schools. Of these, 358 schools (almost 90%) comprise children from resource-deprived backgrounds in Tier- II, III, and villages of Southern India. The program has been highly successful in revolutionizing educational outcomes in the schools it has reached.
The Lockdown Learning project by Tata Steel Foundation received the Bronze Award in Asia. Covid profoundly impacted learning among children, resulting in an increased dropout rate among rural government schools across India. To address this, Tata Steel Foundation implemented the Lockdown Learning module in the digitally dark villages of Jharkhand and Odisha. It combines the curated physical presence of teachers and freshly designed material, which reached 35,000 children across 2,653 villages. It enabled 170 government schoolteachers to voluntarily join this effort for continued education. By November, with no visibility of schools reopening, Lockdown Learning was expanded for deeper penetration. Today, 1263 trained teachers across 4539 villages and >135,000 children are part of this programme.
