If you run an NGO or disability trust in India, you already know the documentation problem. Donors want outcomes. Management wants reports. The RPwD Act requires IEPs. Samagra Shiksha asks for evidence of inclusion. And your special educators are already stretched.
EdQueries was not built for NGOs specifically — but it solves three of the biggest operational problems NGOs face when running learning programmes for persons with disabilities.
Problem 1: Measuring Learning Outcomes for Donor Reports
“Students improved communication skills” is not a reportable outcome. “Student X completed 47 communication activities and progressed from single-word picture identification to 5-option social scenario responses over 8 weeks” is.
EdQueries’ per-student institutional tracking logs every activity completion with timestamp. You can generate objective, date-stamped progress records without any additional data collection effort. These records are exactly what donors, boards, and government bodies need — not narrative reports, but evidence.
Muskaan PAEPID (Vasant Kunj, Delhi), Amogh Trust (Bengaluru), and Akshadhaa Foundation (Bengaluru) all use EdQueries for this purpose — structured learning programmes where the digital record becomes part of the impact documentation.
Problem 2: Scaling Learning Without Scaling Staff
Most disability-sector NGOs in India operate on thin staffing ratios. One special educator for 12–18 learners is not unusual. Delivering differentiated instruction at that ratio, with paper materials, is effectively impossible.
EdQueries activities are self-instructing. A learner who can operate a tablet or laptop can engage independently with an assigned activity while the special educator works with another learner. The platform provides the instruction, the feedback, and the correction. The educator observes, adjusts, and supports — but is not the bottleneck.
At Antharbhaava’s Leonard Cheshire collaboration programme (Bengaluru), EdQueries was used with 6 adults with multiple disabilities including cerebral palsy and autism. Volunteers delivered structured sessions weekly. The platform tracked progress between sessions. The ratio challenge was managed through digital consistency rather than increased headcount.
Problem 3: Content That Is Actually Relevant to Your Learners
Most digital learning tools are built for mainstream schoolchildren in Western contexts. When your learners are adults with intellectual disability preparing for retail or hospitality work in Bengaluru, a platform designed for 8-year-olds in the UK is not useful.
EdQueries is built in India, for Indian learners. The platform covers Indian currency, Indian food, Indian weather, Indian cultural contexts — and, critically, it goes beyond school-age academics into life skills, communication, and vocational training that directly serve adults with disabilities in supported employment settings.
40+ pre-vocational activities cover paper bag making, spice packaging, retail support, hospitality, workplace safety, money handling, and office readiness. These are the skills Antharbhaava, Kilkaari, and similar organisations actually need.
NGO and Trust Pricing
We offer concessional pricing for registered non-profits and disability trusts. Pricing is structured around your programme size. We also facilitate CSR-sponsored seat arrangements where a corporate partner funds access for your learners under Section 135 education mandate.
