~ Bharatpur leads the way with the partnership of the OmniActive Improving Lives Foundation (OILF) and Rangeet ~
Mumbai, 2nd September 2025 – Since its launch in classrooms in Deeg and Bharatpur, Rangeet’s Social Emotional & Ecological Knowledge (SEEK)© curriculum has already impacted over 30,000 students and trained over 900 teachers. The curriculum nurtures knowledge, voice and agency around wellbeing, societal equity, ecological sustainability and digital citizenship in children, while also empowering teachers with new pedagogical knowledge.
OmniActive Improving Lives Foundation (ILF) and Rangeet’s joint efforts to expand their impact across the state have been supported in two ways by the Rajasthan government. The Rajasthan Council of School Education (RCScE), under the Rising Rajasthan Initiative, has signed an MoU with Rangeet to bring SEEK™ to classrooms in districts like Bharatpur, Deeg and Pali, while Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan (SmSA) Bharatpur has issued a formal letter of support, cementing its role as a champion of the program’s implementation. SmSA has also issued a letter in Pali, helping kickstart the program with gusto, showcasing the state’s investment in the mission.
Teachers Speak: Classrooms are Changing for the Better
For many teachers, SEEK has been more than just a curriculum; it’s been a mirror and a catalyst for change.
- “Because of Rangeet classes, I realised that by calling the children by their parents’ names, they don’t feel good and this negatively affects their studies. But if you call them by their real names, then their interest in studying is better.”
— Prem Chand Katara, Teacher, Deeg - “I taught the module ‘Girls = Boys’ from the Society Umbrella of the SEEK Curriculum in class. This helped us greatly to take away stereotypes and assumptions children had. We stopped making them sit and play apart according to gender. This resulted in more respect, a sense of community, and a more positive, happy school atmosphere.”
— Manish Bhardwaj, Teacher, Bharatpur - “Before, children would leave after the midday meal, but now they stay for class and their communication skills have also improved.”
— Poonam Kumari & Sunita Kumari, Teachers, Bharatpur
Officials affirm SEEK’s Impact
The program has drawn praise from education officials in Rajasthan for its reach and its ability to strengthen teacher-student engagement.
- “Teachers have informed us that schools in remote, hard-to-reach areas have been visited and included in the program, allowing them to be brought back into the fold.”
— District Education Officers of Bharatpur and Deeg - “Rangeet is helping enable better student-teacher interaction.”
— Chief Block Education Officers, Bharatpur
Leadership Speak
Commenting on the milestone, Simran Mulchandani, CEO & Co-Founder of Rangeet, said:
“At Rangeet, we have always believed that education should nurture empathy, inclusion, and agency around the climate and wellbeing. This support from the Government of Rajasthan allows us to bring the SEEK curriculum to every child. The voices of teachers and students from Bharatpur and Deeg already show us how powerful SEEK can be in transforming schools into happier and more equitable spaces. We look forward to scaling this impact and creating a generation of future-ready, compassionate learners.”
