Leveraging Technology for Quality Education

The Katha Digital Lab (KaDL) aims at leveraging Katha’s three decades rich experience in using its recognised StoryPedagogyTM onto today’s digital tools to help children grow up to be reader–leaders.

Over the years, through cooperative action and activism, Katha has brought together parents, teachers, government, donors and volunteers to work on projects impacting more than 1 million children. Therefore, through KaDL, Katha hopes to broaden its horizons and create a national and international impact on how we look at education- in quicker, frugal and efficient ways.

KaDL, (which incidentally also means ocean in Tamil) helps key stakeholders bring together new digital edu-programs, experiment with digital tools, explore digital media’s potential and discover new pedagogical techniques to improve a child’s experience inside and outside the classroom.
