Anganwadi centres use WhatsApp for interactive lessons
The Story in Brief
The Story in Brief
Businesstoday.in reports that anganwadi centres across India are using WhatsApp, digital stories, songs and activities to make early childhood learning more interactive and move beyond rote learning. Teachers have adopted these tools to engage children. However, limited connectivity and the digital divide remain major hurdles, especially in rural areas.
The Indian Opinion
Tech enthusiasts call this a breakthrough while sceptics dismiss it as a gimmick in underfunded schools. Both miss the middle ground. WhatsApp songs and stories do engage children but cannot fix patchy connectivity or replace trained teachers. The real test will be whether the government narrows the digital divide so tools reach the remotest anganwadis, not just the well-connected ones.
