Abhishek Biswas, Krishti Das, Founders, ClassRoute, and others graced the launch of ClassRoute, India’s first and completely free learning app for students of classes IX to XII in vernacular language.

The free learning app has been developed in the form of social media. Education will be given for free for the students irrespective of their economic backgrounds.

The app consists of different modules in Bengali namely

• Baithak Khana (Newsfeed)
• Aksathe Pori (Community Discussion)
• Prostuti Porbo (Question Bank)
• Bartalap (Chat within learners) and many more.

This has been developed by an alumni group from Jadavpur University, Calcutta University and IITs. Their main target group are those students who cannot afford to pay high tuition fees.

Speaking at the launch, Abhishek Biswas said “If there can be social media for entertainment, news, and health, why not develop one for education? It will not take much space in the smartphone as it is only 13 MB. With this app, we want to show that there are problems that can be solved by the common man too”.

ClassRoute will be launching its Hindi version as well in the future.
