Gnana Prakash – Year 3 builds upon the strong foundations established during Years 1 and 2, with a focused emphasis on strengthening practical classroom implementation and improving teaching-learning processes. The programme aims to reinforce teachers’ understanding through revision and reflection on Year 2 learnings while promoting play-based pedagogy and age-appropriate classroom practices to enhance student engagement. It emphasizes the effective use of Teaching Learning Materials (TLMs) and School Readiness Materials (SRMs) to create joyful and meaningful learning experiences. Special attention is given to the age-appropriate introduction of English through songs, stories, rhymes, and play-based activities. The programme also encourages the integration of digital platforms, particularly DIKSHA, for continuous learning, classroom support, and monitoring. Furthermore, Year 3 strengthens parent participation and communication to build a supportive learning environment and reinforces key themes such as inclusive education, gender sensitivity, health and nutrition, and child protection to ensure holistic child development.

Pre–Post Assessment (In-Person Training)
For the Gnana Jyothi – Year 2 (120-Day Certificate Course), a structured Pre–Post Assessment is integrated into the in-person training to measure participants’ learning progress. The pre-test is conducted on Day 1 to assess the baseline knowledge and understanding of Anganwadi Workers on key areas such as play-based methodology, child development, community engagement, assessment practices, and inclusive education. The post-test is administered on Day 6 at the end of the training to evaluate the improvement in their knowledge and conceptual clarity. The comparison of Day 1 and Day 6 results helps in measuring the effectiveness of the training, identifying learning gains, and ensuring that participants are better equipped to implement the course components effectively at their Anganwadi centres.

The Year 2 Gnana Prakash Certificate Course focused on strengthening teachers’ practical skills and classroom practices in the early grades, in alignment with NEP 2020 and NCF–FS 2022. Building on Year 1 learnings, the course emphasized application-based pedagogy to improve foundational learning outcomes.
A key component was Play-Based Methodology, where teachers were trained to use games, stories, songs, and hands-on activities to create joyful, engaging, and developmentally appropriate learning experiences. The course also highlighted Community Engagement, guiding teachers to actively involve parents and communities in supporting children’s literacy and numeracy development through regular communication and home-based learning activities.
The module on Assessment in Early Years focused on continuous and child-friendly assessment practices. Teachers learned to observe learning progress, track foundational competencies, and use assessment insights to plan targeted instruction rather than relying on rote or summative methods. In addition, Inclusive Education was addressed by equipping teachers with strategies to identify diverse learning needs and adapt classroom practices to ensure equitable learning opportunities for all children.
Overall, the Year 2 Gnana Prakash Course enhanced teachers’ confidence and capacity to deliver child-centered, inclusive, and outcome-oriented instruction, contributing significantly to the achievement of foundational literacy and numeracy goals under the NIPUN Bharat Mission
