The Multi-Dimensional Learning Space initiative aims to improve learning outcomes for children in government schools in India. It focuses on providing equal emphasis on all subjects using methods like smart classrooms, science and math labs, library setups, and career counseling. Key aspects include teacher training, community involvement, and monitoring progress. The program has been implemented in over 500 schools across 3 states, benefiting over 81,000 children and 2,300 teachers. The long-term goal is to partner with state governments to adopt this multi-dimensional learning approach across all public schools.
