Abheda Foundation has developed its free flagship application on android platform named Abheda English. As we realize that English is still the best enabler and leveler in our society, our objective is to teach basics of English language through easy, attractive yet effective contents of Abheda English. And our contents are not targeted to a particular level that a student may be in; anybody inter
ested and having very basic knowledge of English can learn through these contents. This facet extends the population using Abheda English from school students to groups like rural men and women, labourers, school dropouts, the elderly community etc. As most of the country’s population is shortly going to use digital apps in numbers for various day-to-day requirements such as banking, subsidy, pension, health insurance etc. and android-based phones are becoming very cheap, this kind of application on android will take forward the ‘Digital India’ initiative of the government. So to make the rural students and general public overcome the psychological and cultural barrier of learning a non-local non-mother tongue language (English), we have adopted a semi-optimal teaching medium – via mother tongue languages (Bengali to start with). You can download Abheda English from Google Play Store following instructions given in www.abhedafoundation.org/products.
