Stream Shiksha is an upcoming and innovative solution to today’s needs of online education. Keeping in mind the guidelines issued by "MyGov India: App Innovation Challenge", we have created a platform for easy access to online teaching and learning with various features that set us apart. Our motive is to make a smooth transition from class-based learning to app-based learning by keeping the essential elements of a class intact in this time of COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. As studies take a leap from chalks and boards to screens and undo buttons, the requirement for mobile phones applications is highly anticipated. Stream Shiksha offers a range of comprehensive tools to make teaching-learning a simple, interesting as well as ethical process. With a simple-to-use GUI, it is the perfect option for both teachers and students who may not be highly tech-savvy. A Stream Shiksha user has at their disposal, a variety of options to equip the teachers and students for a hassle-free experience where they can solely focus on the academics without worrying about the complex technicalities of digitization.

The code for joining the classroom is available only to the creator and is at his discretion to allow distribution of code. The creator of classroom can view the list of all participating students and can control the inflow by deleting unwanted additions in the class. Also, the creator can upload assignments for evaluation.

Free-of-charge, this app will act as a portal of equality in education to everyone without the hindrance of high costs associated usually.
