Episode Description

Research often feels far from the realities of the classroom — but not at DEVI Sansthan.

In this episode of “Learn With Dignity,” we’re once again joined by Dr. Sunita Gandhi to explore how DEVI turns evidence into action. From the principles behind the ALfA (Accelerating Learning for All) program to the mindful use of technology in low-resource settings, this conversation dives into what it truly means to translate research into real impact.

We explore:
• How research directly shapes DEVI’s approach to foundational literacy and numeracy
• Evidence-based practices that are transforming early learning outcomes
• The balance between theory, experimentation, and classroom feedback
• Lessons from research findings that challenged existing assumptions
• How technology can support—not replace—the human side of learning

Because change in education isn’t just about new ideas — it’s about proving what works, and making it work everywhere.
