AI in Indian classrooms: what actually helps students learn — Bharat AI Sathi

Every principal is being pitched an "AI-first" curriculum. Most of them shouldn't buy it. Here's what actually works.

What helps Personalised practice — AI generates additional problems at the exact difficulty each student needs. Foreign language conversation practice. Reading comprehension coaching.

What doesn't AI writing whole assignments for students. Chatbots pretending to be therapists. Anything that removes the student's own struggle from the loop.

The teacher's role The best AI tools give the teacher the analytics. A dashboard showing which concepts a class hasn't mastered is worth more than any student-facing chatbot.

Guardrails Every AI feature in a school setting should log what was asked and what was answered. Parents and teachers should be able to review.
