only by strengthening human capabilities for both critical thinking and compassion. Yet, a spate of studies from across the world suggests that the applications of AI have led to higher vulnerability for the marginalized, alienation of young people, and, in general, a decline in cognitive abilities. Numerous articles have raised concerns about the unethical and extreme consequences of people\u2019s relationships with AI bots and about AI agents that take over human autonomy. The economy powering AI dystopia is not just profiteering wildly. It is stripping society of historical memory, institutional authority, and social sensibility.<\/p>\n<p>For those who feel that \u201cthe AI epoch is here and we can do nothing but accept it\u201d, Neil Postman\u2019s fifth law of technology \u2013 that \u2018technology becomes mythic\u2019 is a warning. Unless social institutions retain the sovereign right to determine our futures, the current configuration of techno-social design\u2013monopolized by Big Tech corporations\u2013is bound to hurt future generations. The \u2018export data, import AI\u2019 paradigm takes us back to the \u2018export cotton, import cloth\u2019 era that impoverished India, a colony of the British. The new paradigm is not merely one of squeezing the AI colonies economically, but also politically. It is a new enslavement nudged algorithmically through trade deals and political bargains based on self-interest of the powerful.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-3576-8-0-2\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-button panel-last-child\" data-index=\"17\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-button so-widget-sow-button-flat-c684aa1adf55-3576\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><div class=\"ow-button-base ow-button-align-left\"\n>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/annual-reports.itforchange.net\/reports\/note-from-the-director-2024-25\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"sowb-button ow-icon-placement-left\" \t>\n\t\t<span>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tRead More\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-3576-9\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"siteorigin-panels-stretch panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-3576-9\" id=\"our-impact\" data-stretch-type=\"full\" ><div id=\"pgc-3576-9-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-3576-9-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-headline panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"18\" ><div class=\"animate-69d81541d74e7217721047 panels-animation-hide panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-3576-9-0-0\" data-so-animation=\"{&quot;selector&quot;:&quot;.animate-69d81541d74e7217721047&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;slideInLeft&quot;,&quot;breakpoint&quot;:&quot;780px&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:0.8000000000000000444089209850062616169452667236328125,&quot;repeat&quot;:0,&quot;hide&quot;:1,&quot;disableAnimationMobile&quot;:0,&quot;finalState&quot;:&quot;visible&quot;,&quot;delay&quot;:0,&quot;debounce&quot;:0.1000000000000000055511151231257827021181583404541015625,&quot;event&quot;:&quot;enter&quot;,&quot;offset&quot;:0}\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-headline so-widget-sow-headline-default-895f33b88f0d-3576\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><div class=\"sow-headline-container \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"sow-headline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tOur Impact\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-3576-10\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"siteorigin-panels-stretch panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-3576-10\" id=\"just-digital-economies\" data-stretch-type=\"full\" ><div id=\"pgc-3576-10-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-3576-10-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_siteorigin-panels-builder panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"19\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-3576-10-0-0\" ><div id=\"pl-w68f4759e3f6d7\"  class=\"panel-layout\" ><div id=\"pg-w68f4759e3f6d7-0\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"impact-title panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-w68f4759e3f6d7-0\" ><div id=\"pgc-w68f4759e3f6d7-0-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div class=\"panel-cell-style panel-cell-style-for-w68f4759e3f6d7-0-0\" ><div id=\"panel-w68f4759e3f6d7-0-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"0\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-w68f4759e3f6d7-0-0-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"impact-numbers\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>1<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-w68f4759e3f6d7-0-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-w68f4759e3f6d7-0-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-headline panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-headline so-widget-sow-headline-default-dcd23d452913 so-widget-fittext-wrapper\"\n\t\t\t data-fit-text-compressor=\"0.85\"\n\t\t><div class=\"sow-headline-container \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"sow-headline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tShaping the Global Discourse on Just Digital Economies\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-w68f4759e3f6d7-1\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-w68f4759e3f6d7-1-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-w68f4759e3f6d7-1-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"2\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>Over the past year, we deepened our engagement in advancing policy and public narratives of digital justice through close collaboration with our allies and partners.

These information centers represent far more than internet access points. They serve as transformative spaces where marginalized rural women and girls access crucial information on government schemes, welfare programs, education, and employment opportunities. Women engage in discussions, receive digital literacy training, and get timely updates through IVRS messages, while girls explore media and storytelling. The centers empower women and girls to experiment with technology on their own terms.<\/p>\n<p>We establish each center by identifying villages where women\u2019s collectives are ready to own and manage these resources. In Hagaranalli, women demonstrated this potential by uniting to challenge village leaders\u2019 refusal to allocate a community building for the center. They strategically highlighted the NMK\u2019s value as a community resource and successfully secured an unused panchayat building.

Audio stories use sound effects and voice modulation to help students infer meaning and connect with their home language, strengthening comprehension and communication skills essential for lifelong learning.<\/p>\n<p>Karnataka, one of the most linguistically and culturally diverse states in India, provides schooling in multiple language mediums beyond Kannada, including English, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, and Urdu. While offering instruction in multiple languages is an important step, students and teachers face significant challenges. A major hurdle is the gap between the language children speak at home and the language used in school. For example, in Tamil- and Urdu-medium schools, teaching is conducted in formal Tamil or Urdu, while students often speak Tamil dialects or Dakhni at home. For these students, linguistic diversity often translates into exclusion.<\/p>\n<p>When instruction does not account for a child\u2019s home language and culture, it imposes a cognitive toll, as children struggle to decode the language while learning content, and an emotional toll, as children begin to associate their mother tongue with \u201cbackwardness,\u201d leading to disengagement and reduced confidence in their own learning abilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-w68f47dfa3950f-3-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-w68f47dfa3950f-3-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child\" data-index=\"6\" ><div class=\"so-rounded panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-w68f47dfa3950f-3-1-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>Through the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/it-for-change_kathe-khajane-approaches-it-for-change-activity-7327687231349948416-rwY5\/\"> <i>Kathe Khajane<\/i><\/a> program, in partnership with the Karnataka Department of State Educational Research and Training (DSERT), teachers received hands-on support to record, edit, and publish audio stories.

Through a <a href=\"https:\/\/itforchange.net\/kleap-impact-assessment-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">two-pronged approach<\/a>\u2014resource creation and techno-pedagogical capacity building\u2014the program cultivated holistic teacher development and strengthened classroom practices by integrating technology meaningfully into pedagogy.<\/p>\n<p>Building on previous efforts, this year the program expanded its scope: launching the teacher resource <i>Kathe Khajane<\/i>, introducing educators to techno-pedagogical frameworks such as Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK) and Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and observing teachers demonstrate creativity and understanding in applying these approaches in their classrooms. Teachers collaborated to produce over 450 audio stories, now available as Open Educational Resources (OER) on the free and open-source mobile app AntennaPod. Offline accessibility via teachers\u2019 phones ensures that even schools with limited resources and connectivity can use these high-quality, contextually relevant learning tools and resources.<\/p>\n<p>Teachers began applying these techniques in classrooms, reporting enhanced student engagement, confidence, and language skills. In Bengaluru North district, targeted follow-up with Urdu-medium teachers demonstrated not only adoption of resources and strategies but also active peer learning and sharing through a community of practice. The program also facilitated techno-pedagogy workshops across six districts, engaging language teachers, Cluster Resource Persons, and Block Resource Persons.

The children prepared a very nice skit within 5 minutes. One child became the Hakim Sahib by putting on a beard made out of cotton. Children went around the school and picked up small leaves and twigs to depict the preparation of natural medicines and remedies. It was a very humorous story, and they enjoyed themselves acting it out. Through this activity, there was a fresh enthusiasm born in the children.

Government officials now mobilize teachers and principals to integrate Kishori Club activities into their schools, signaling progress toward systemic adoption. Teachers report that students who previously hesitated to speak now actively participate in discussions about their futures. In schools where the program operates, conversations about gender roles, career aspirations, and personal agency have become part of the everyday dialogue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-3576-14\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"siteorigin-panels-stretch
