So if donors were to say that we won’t be a source of stress at any rate, maybe it gives more space for people, especially leaders (sic)." - Rohini Nilekani (Chairperson, RNP) In The Wellbeing Project’s latest episode of the 'Cultivating Hope' podcast series, Rohini Nilekani and Melinda French Gates (Founder, Pivotal Ventures) explore a powerful yet often overlooked aspect of #social change - the wellbeing of those driving it.

ASER 2024 brings promising insights—showing how collective efforts during the pandemic have helped overcome learning losses. But this is just the beginning. In her latest article, Rohini Nilekani highlights how we may be at a tipping point—a moment where we can reimagine early learning, not just to recover but to thrive. The youngest children in India, the nation-builders of 2047, are just 3-4 years old today. What we do now will shape their future. This is where initiatives like Bachpan Manao and many others come in. By celebrating childhood as a complete phase, we can create learning moments filled with joy, play, and exploration. The opportunity is here—to move beyond narrow outcomes and build a strong, joyful foundation for every child. Let’s make the first 8 years of life truly count. Read Rohini Nilekani’s article to see soak in a quiet moment of happiness that can recharge us to continue the work that is still to be done 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gSZnwCBC This article was first published in Times of India on March 2, 2025 -https://lnkd.in/gpqD4MgQ #BachpanManao #ASER2024 #JoyfulLearning #EarlyYearsMatter #PlayBasedLearning Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies Pratham Education Foundation EkStep Foundation Deepika Mogilishetty Hita Kumar Varun Naik Hemalatha Ganesh

In an opinion piece published in The Times Of India, Rohini Nilekani, author and chairperson of Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies, describes the recently launched Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) 2024 as a cause for celebration. "A lot of credit must go to both Centre and state govts. Focus on foundational learning and numeracy (FLN) is yielding results - 80% of schools reported they had received both training and materials for basic learning," she writes. Ms. Nilekani emphasises that the ages of 0 to 8 years are critical for children because those “early experiences shape brain architecture, which then determines future learning, behaviour and health too” . . . .
