Through its Entrance Exam Preparation initiative, Avanti supports Grade 11 and 12 students in Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas to gain admission to top Engineering and Medical colleges. The Sankalp program, in partnership with the Government of Haryana, enhances learning for Grades 9 to 12 through teacher training, ICT equipment, and specialized workbooks.</p> <p>Additionally, the Ghar Pe School initiative provides at-home learning through virtual groups.

Parents play a crucial role in ensuring their children have access to mobile phones for evening online classes. The Avanti team has a tele-calling team responsible for monitoring regular class attendance and performance through calls. When attendance or class marks decline, the tele-counsellor's aim is to reactivate students who had dropped out.</p> <p>The lack of a dedicated app for the tele-caller team resulted in manual processes, leading to inefficiencies, data analysis challenges and limited oversight as the program expanded across states.</p> <p>We implemented Zoho Creator, a low-code platform that allowed the team to create applications for tele counsellors empowering them with comprehensive student data to enhance interactions and drive higher student engagement. It helped higher management to better monitor the program hence optimizing overall efficiency and accurate data handling.</p> <div class="pt-2"> <span class="position-relative acc_trigger text-blue border-0 d-block">Call allocation and prioritization: Ensuring the right students are called</span> <div class="acc_container m-0 pr-3 pt-2 pb-3"> <ul class="pl-4 ml-2"> <li class="mb-2">Lack of a centralized or automated call allocation system led to the manager handling multiple sheets across various programs to access information, resulting in significant time spent on call allotment daily with minimal return on investment.</li> <li class="mb-2">Avanti Connect app provides a customized solution using zoho creator for the manager to centrally allocate calls, suggest call priorities and enable call reallocation.</li> <li>Centralized call allocation streamlines operations, saving time and reducing errors.</li> </ul> </div> <div class="d-block py-1"></div> <span class="position-relative acc_trigger text-blue d-block">Tele-Counselor workflow</span> <div class="acc_container m-0 pr-3 pt-2 pb-3"> <ul class="pl-4 ml-2"> <li class="mb-2">The lack of a dedicated app for tele-counselors led to manual call-making and data capture, resulting in time-consuming, error-prone and inefficient processes.

We now have ~20,000 learners - most of whom learn online. Parental engagement is critical to keep our learners engaged with the program. Parents need to encourage students to persist, ensure that students have access to their mobile phones to attend online classes in the evening. </p> <p>Our tele calling team is responsible for communicating with parents, updating them on student progress and reactivating students who have dropped out of the program. Through the support of the Koita Foundation, we have custom built a series of apps on the Zoho Creator platform.</p> <p> The software helps us prioritise calls, provide callers with relevant student data and improve caller efficiency. Drishti, Rekha and Rizwan spent significant鈥痶ime with us helping us think through the design and implementation of the application. We hope to see significant increases in caller efficiency and more importantly, improvements in their effectiveness. In the future, we hope to build on the system to integrate WhatsApp APIs to further improve cost effectiveness. </p> <h3 class="mb-0">Mr. Akshay Saxena</h3> <p>CEO of Avanti Fellows</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <nav aria-label="breadcrumb" class="breadcrumbs-panel"> <ol class="breadcrumb justify-content-center"> <li class="breadcrumb-item"> <a href="../"> <i class="fa fa-home" aria-hidden="true"></i> </a> </li> <li class="breadcrumb-item" aria-current="page"><a href="../ngo-transformation/">NGO Transformation</a></li> <li class="breadcrumb-item active" aria-current="page"> Key Initiatives</li> <li class="breadcrumb-item active" aria-current="page"> AVANTI FELLOWS </li> </ol> </nav>  <div class="push"></div> </div>  <link rel="stylesheet" href="/src/css/accordian.css" /> <script> $(document).ready(function () { //Set default open/close settings $('.acc_container').hide(); //Hide/close all containers /*$('.acc_trigger:first').addClass('active').next().show(); //Add "active" class to first trigger, then show/open the immediate next container*/ //On Click $('.acc_trigger.active').next().slideDown(); $('.acc_trigger').click(function () { if ($(this).next().is(':hidden')) { //If immediate next container is closed... $('.acc_trigger').removeClass('active').next().slideUp(); //Remove all .acc_trigger classes and slide up the immediate next container $(this).toggleClass('active').next().slideDown(); //Add .acc_trigger class to clicked trigger and slide down the immediate next container } else { $('.acc_trigger').removeClass('active').next().slideUp(); } return false; //Prevent the browser jump to the link anchor }); $(function () { $('.acc_trigger').bind('click', function () { var self = this; setTimeout(function () { theOffset = $(self).offset(); $('body,html').animate({ scrollTop: theOffset.top - 150 }); }, 400); // ensure the collapse animation is done }); }); }); </script>  <footer class="home-footer bg-light"> <hr class="m-0" /> <a href="#" class="scrollup" title="Scroll Back to Top"> <i class="fa fa-arrow-up"></i> </a>  <div id="contact" class="container"> <div class="row align-items-center align-items-lg-end my-lg-4 py-lg-2 pb-3"> <div class="col-lg-12 text-center mt-3 mt-lg-0"> <h5 class="font-weight-bold text-center text-uppercase mb-2">Koita Foundation</h5> <p class="mb-1">A1710, One Lodha Place, Senapati Bapat Marg, Lower Parel, Mumbai 400013.</p> <a href="tel:+912235123309">+91-22-35123309</a> / <a href="mailto:info@koitafoundation.org">info@koitafoundation.org</a> <ul class="social_media mt-4"> <li class="m-0"> <a href="https://in.linkedin.com/company/koita-foundation" target="_blank" rel="nofollow, noreferrer"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="35" height="35" fill="currentColor" class="bi bi-linkedin" viewBox="0 0 16 16"> <path d="M0 1.146C0 .513.526 0 1.175 0h13.65C15.474 0 16 .513 16 1.146v13.708c0 .633-.526 1.146-1.175 1.146H1.175C.526 16 0 15.487 0 14.854V1.146zm4.943 12.248V6.169H2.542v7.225h2.401zm-1.2-8.212c.837 0 1.358-.554 1.358-1.248-.015-.709-.52-1.248-1.342-1.248-.822 0-1.359.54-1.359 1.248 0 .694.521 1.248 1.327 1.248h.016zm4.908 8.212V9.359c0-.216.016-.432.08-.586.173-.431.568-.878 1.232-.878.869 0 1.216.662 1.216 1.634v3.865h2.401V9.25c0-2.22-1.184-3.252-2.764-3.252-1.274 0-1.845.7-2.165 1.193v.025h-.016a5.54 5.54 0 0 1 .016-.025V6.169h-2.4c.03.678 0 7.225 0 7.225h2.4z" /> </svg> </a> </li> <li class="m-0 mx-2"> <a href="https://twitter.com/FoundationKoita" target="_blank" rel="nofollow, noreferrer"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="35" height="35" fill="currentColor" class="bi bi-twitter-x" viewBox="0 0 16 16"> <path d="M12.6.75h2.454l-5.36 6.142L16 15.25h-4.937l-3.867-5.07-4.425 5.07H.316l5.733-6.57L0 .75h5.063l3.495 4.633L12.601.75Zm-.86 13.028h1.36L4.323 2.145H2.865l8.875 11.633Z" /> </svg> </a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="copy-footer bg-blue d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="container text-center text-white" id="copyright"> © <script>document.getElementById('copyright').appendChild(document.createTextNode(new Date().getFullYear()))</script>.
