Teacher Builds Low-Cost Humanoid Robot for Rural Schools

A teacher named Akshay Mashelkar built a robot called Shiksha to help kids in rural schools learn better.

The robot is like a friendly teacher that can talk and teach lessons in Kannada, English, and Math.

It uses special cards to start different lessons, making learning fun and interactive.

Shiksha is now in many schools and helps teachers by making lessons more engaging.

It shows that even with a small budget, technology can make a big difference in education.

The robot also supports important government education policies aimed at improving learning in rural areas.
