2020 has been a tough and unrelenting year for students owing to physical school closures that caused a major gap in academics and education. While classroom learning moved to a virtual mode and students shifted gears to continue the rest of their academic year online, 2020 was still a challenging year for students across India.

Understanding the big gap that every student faced in their learning in 2020, Vedantu, a pioneer in LIVE online learning, believes that every kid in India requires a platform and opportunity to make a comeback in learning. To make quality education accessible to one and all, Vedantu is launching a series of student-centric initiatives this year. The organization is democratizing education in India through a National, student-centric program that will help kids prepare first-hand and achieve their academic goals.
