Speaking English? “Athu enaku varathu akka!!” — a boy told me six months ago when I first began implementing the Spoken English module at the schools and ITK centers.

Interest, In stress, In Trust
Vijayanagar dynasty has permanently reserved its share in Indian history. This Kingdom originated at Hampi, a place that existed even during the Ramayana and Mahabharata periods. Since then, this region has been rich in minerals and still attracts big firms to settle under its shelter. Having heard about the grand history of Vijayanagar, a farmer […]
We often visit the same places and stick to the same routine, interacting with the same people. Have you climbed the stairs in your building, home, office, or elsewhere in the last 3 days? Do you know how many steps there are? Or how many steps you need to take to reach your kitchen from […]
