The Vardhan Group has launched 'Boost My Child' (BMC), an AI-driven technology platform designed to align with the National Education Policy (NEP) and National Curriculum Framework (NCF) guidelines, focusing on the holistic development of children aged 0 to 8 years. The platform was introduced at a news conference in Pune by Nitin Jawalkar, Chairman of Vardhan Group, and Vipul Joshi, founder of 'Boost My Child'.

With a pre-seed funding of Rs. 1 Crore, BMC was incorporated in October 2021 after four years of dedicated research and development. The development team includes leading child psychologists, pediatricians, early childhood educators, and experts in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Software Product Development.

Joshi explained that the School Assessment Module (SAM) enables teachers to assess students' holistic development using a user-friendly interface on smartphones, tablets, or PCs. The Boost My Child mobile app allows parents to track their child's 360-degree development across six categories and 21 areas. The app's proprietary AI-driven Recommendations Engine provides weekly customized activities, worksheets, and parenting guidelines tailored to each child's developmental needs.

The BMC app is available in multiple languages, including English, Hindi, Marathi, and Assamese, with plans to add more regional languages soon. Key features include:

• 360-degree coverage with six categories and 21 areas conforming to NEP/NCF standards.
• Personalized teaching support for teachers.
• Multi-dimensional reports useful for parent-teacher meetings.
• Branch/area-wise collated data and analysis.
• Significant reduction in teachers' time for administrative tasks.
• Customized parent-child activities, age-specific toolkits, and child-specific parenting guidelines.
• Integration with existing school apps.

The launch of 'Boost My Child' marks a significant step towards leveraging AI to enhance early childhood education, providing comprehensive support for both teachers and parents.
