Education FAQs

Are Prayaas materials free? +
Yes. All Prayaas Class 1–12 study materials are free for rural Chhattisgarh students. Download PDFs in English and Hindi. Print and distribute freely under CC-BY 4.0.
Is EduSuTo free or paid? +
EduSuTo has both: the flagship CCS course is paid (₹4,999–₹14,999), but 4 awareness courses are completely free. Scholarships are available for marginalised students.
Are the materials aligned to CGBSE? +
Yes. All Prayaas materials are aligned to the Chhattisgarh Board of Secondary Education (CGBSE) syllabus, chapter by chapter, across all 12 classes.
Can I volunteer to teach? +
Yes. Visit our Volunteer page to apply as a teaching mentor. Minimum 4 hours/week commitment.
How is Prayaas different from government textbooks? +
Prayaas is a supplement, not a replacement. Our PDFs simplify, illustrate, and contextualise the CGBSE syllabus for first-generation learners — particularly tribal children whose home language is Chhattisgarhi.
