India's Largest Open Knowledge Sharing Initiative for Schools.
Share one idea. Inspire a thousand schools. Help every child flourish.
Every school has mastered something. No school has mastered everything. If every school openly shared just five percent of what it has learnt, the entire education ecosystem would become stronger.
That is the whole idea, and it is deliberately modest. We are not asking any school to reveal how it operates, or to hand over its advantage. We are asking for one practice. The five percent it has genuinely worked out.
Five percent is achievable in any school, at any budget, in any city. Alone it is quiet. Aggregated across hundreds of schools and made searchable, it becomes an education system that teaches itself.
An open call to every school in India to share one practice that works. Submissions are free, the format is light, and everything shared enters a permanent, searchable, public library.
One practice, one submission. What the problem was, what they did, what changed.
Twenty submissions are selected for the National Showcase. Every valid submission enters the Library.
Five minutes each. TED format: problem, idea, implementation, results, takeaways.
Each presentation becomes a PDF, a video, a podcast episode, a blog post and a case study.
Searchable by subject, by challenge, by school type. Free to every school in India, forever.
Broad enough that every school finds a home, specific enough that submissions are comparable. Category F exists because the best ideas rarely fit a box.
Anything that changes what happens for the child.
How the adults in the building work, lead and relate.
The unglamorous machinery that decides whether everything else works.
Tools genuinely in daily use, not pilots or plans.
What the school does beyond its own walls.
Something nobody has thought of.
Twenty schools are selected each year. They are not winners, because nobody lost. They are the schools whose contribution the panel chose to put on the national stage.
Formal recognition, signed by the Advisory Council.
Five minutes on the main stage in front of 500 school leaders.
A properly produced film of their practice, theirs to keep and use.
A permanent, credited page in the Knowledge Library.
'National Showcase School 2026' for their website, marketing and admissions material.
Featured across TSOI channels and eight media partners.
Included in the annual published compendium of Indian school practice.
A long-form conversation about the practice and how it was built.
TED format. No slide overload, no institutional preamble, no thanking the management. Five minutes, five beats, then off. The discipline is what makes twenty presentations watchable rather than exhausting.
What was not working. Be specific and honest.
What you decided to try.
How you actually did it, including what went wrong.
What changed. Numbers if you have them, observation if you do not.
What another school should know before trying this.
Nothing is allowed to end on stage. Each of the twenty presentations is converted into a full set of assets, published free.
Downloadable, structured, citable.
The stage recording, professionally edited.
Long-form, in the contributor's own voice.
Written up for search and sharing.
Permanent page in the Knowledge Library.
Distributed where school leaders already are.
This is the part that matters most, and the part that nobody else can build. A free, public, searchable library of proven practice from real Indian schools. Not theory, not consultancy output, not a ministry framework. Practice that worked, documented by the people who ran it.
Full credit, permanently.
So schools can find comparable contexts.
The individual who built it, named.
So the conversation can continue directly.
Watch it in six minutes.
Take it into your next leadership meeting.
Complete the submission below. It takes under half an hour, and everything you share enters the free, public Knowledge Library.

Seven criteria, applied by a selection panel drawn from the Advisory Council and category specialists. The panel curates; it does not rank.
| Criterion | What the panel looks for |
|---|---|
| Impact | Did something measurably change for children, teachers or the school? |
| Innovation | Is this a genuinely different way of doing it? |
| Replicability | Could another school actually do this, with the resources they have? |
| Evidence | Is there proof, in any form, that it worked? |
| Scalability | Does it hold up beyond one classroom or one year? |
| Presentation | Is it explained clearly enough to be useful to a stranger? |
| Originality | Is this the school's own work? |
Written plainly, because schools will read them and they need to trust what they are agreeing to.
