How It Works
We work on robust technology Framework aiming to provide online Services without borders ensuring Authenticity on information, Transparency on process, Accountability for services, Ease of doing, with strong Sustainability plans.
Our Framework
Ours is a two-way interactive digital platform, adopts state of art information technology, geospatial platforms and security systems. It enables to build information on schools seeking support for disadvantaged students and infrastructure development, information on prospective donors, facilitates them to interact either to seek or to render services.
Services without borders
Being online system with open access, it permits any school from any part of the country to register on their self-interest and seek support for their disadvantaged student/s or to build their infrastructure. At the same time, it also permits any person/institution to join at his self-interest as donor to extend service for the choice of his own. In view of this it facilitates evolving self-initiative citizen models to work together on their mutual interest and spirit.
Authenticity of Information
A comprehensive questionnaire prepared by social scientists is used to capture academic, socio-economic credentials, personal convenience needs of the students and also need requirements of the school. The concerned class teacher uploads such student’s information after being authenticated by students’ parents and school Principal. Similarly, AKSHARADAAN maintains certain validation conditions to accept the registration of prospective donor.
Transparent Process
The platform supports the donor to have online interactions with school to select a student of his/her choice, offer a service of his interest as per his own terms and conditions and vice versa with schools. The fund and material transfers are directly made to the beneficiaries with intimation to Aksharadaan to maintain record of successful transaction of services. Towards sponsorship for conducting short term campaigns, Aksharadaan publishes online component wise budget requirements on a most transparent manner.
Ease of doing
The platform eases the process of selecting a student, donor and rendering services through most automotive process with lesser inputs and user-friendly interfaces. For example , the moment donor registers on the platform, he/she will be automatically shown with information on students from his native place, his/her nearest residence, same date of birth as that of donor, students seeking service which donor is interested to provide to optimise selection process.
Accountability for services
Donor is free to define his protocols for accountability to be followed by schools or could follow set of protocols defined by AKSHARADAAN. The platform facilitates to upload supporting documents on academic progress, expenditures against the services received as per the agreed terms.
Sustainability Plans
AKSHARADAAN undertakes Inspiration study (Pilot district study) pools up different categories of donors to render all types of services as mentioned above and understand the different implementation aspects of AKSHARADAAN-Student- Donor, Aksharadaan- Principal- Donor interaction systems. With more maturity and understanding of the system, self-initiative models like Student -Donor, Principal- Donor and then Donor – Principal would emerge resulting in more schools using the AKSHARADAAN platform and helping students without much direct involvement of AKSHARADAAN. As a Voluntary Self Propagation Chain, Self-Initiative Citizen models are expected to originate and die with certain equilibrium to reach very high number over time. AKSHARADAAN promotes over 3-4 years to get idea established and runs as a self-initiative model.
