1.    Documenting the different interventions on the ground – as they have
happened, with strategies and learnings (as reported)

2.    Curating the resources – by age, by learning area, and adding notes
for facilitators and structuring this in the form of mixed-level learning
packages

3.    Identifying resources for caregivers,parents and facilitators for
children at the pre-primary age group

4.    Developing meaningful assessment modules – that are flexible and
amenable for contextualization

5.    Translating resources into multiple languages

6.    Supporting the teachers through mentored/ online training programs
and introducing them to the resource packages developed, to be used as
supportive materials; and disseminated through formal and informal teacher
networking spaces Adding meta data and publishing these on a resource
portal (this is envisaged as a mediawiki platform)

communication and sharing regularly

institutions to help form, foster and strengthen decentralized learning
