As board exams approached, Aman Gujar felt the pressure mounting. While he performed well in most subjects, mathematics remained a persistent challenge. Despite several tests and pre-boards, his scores plateaued at just 55 marks — leaving him anxious and unsure about what lay ahead.

That changed when his school introduced artificial intelligence (AI)-driven learning tools. With structured guidance from the AI, mathematics began to feel less daunting for Aman.

“Earlier, I struggled to grasp complex math concepts, but the AI’s step-by-step solutions made a big difference. I began understanding the subject better and made it a habit to revise regularly after school,” says Aman.

The programme also incorporated regular tests after each topic, helping students like Aman grasp and revise subjects consistently.

“It helped me turn something that once felt impossible into something manageable. The method made learning fun and engaging, and with AI, studying maths became a lot easier,” adds the 16-year-old.

As he embraced this new approach, Aman’s confidence grew, and so did his marks. When the final board exam results were announced, he was elated. “I was thrilled to have scored 65 marks in maths, a full 10 marks higher than before,” says Aman, who aspires to become a Superintendent of Police in the future.

Aman’s journey from confusion to clarity is just one among many in Tonk, Rajasthan — a district quietly undergoing an educational transformation.

Spearheaded by IAS officer Saumya Jha, the Tonk district administration launched the ‘Padhai with AI’ initiative to transform education in Rajasthan. By blending technology with community support, the programme is making learning more engaging, inclusive, and effective for students.

A new dawn for learning

This innovative approach was born out of Saumya’s observations........
