Chimple's 'Learn with Fun', now on the NIPUN Haryana Parent App!
At the end of a school day, a child’s bag may be packed away, notebooks may be closed, and the rush of the classroom may fade. But learning does not have to stop there. In Haryana, it is finding a new way to continue — through a game, a familiar phone, a few minutes of curiosity, and the quiet confidence that comes from trying again.
Chimple Learning is now available as “Learn with Fun” on the NIPUN Haryana Parent App, bringing game-based practice in reading, language, and mathematics to children in Grades 2 and 3 at home. The integration is part of Haryana’s larger effort to bring parents closer to their children’s foundational learning, extending the connection between what children practise in school and what they can revisit beyond it. The NIPUN Haryana Parent App is designed for parents of primary-grade students in government schools, offering features such as child progress information and mock assessments.
And the response has already begun to tell a hopeful story. Since May 2026, 18,839 children have tried at least one Chimple lesson through the app. Behind that number are thousands of small but meaningful moments: a child sounding out a word once more, working through a maths challenge, returning to an activity after dinner, or proudly showing a parent a game they have completed.
These moments matter because foundational literacy and numeracy are built through regular practice. Children do not all learn at the same pace, and the chance to revisit a concept in a playful, low-pressure setting can make a real difference. Chimple’s games give children space to practise the reading, language, and maths skills they are developing in school, while making the experience feel engaging rather than intimidating.
The integration also recognizes something essential: parents are powerful partners in a child’s learning journey. They do not need to become teachers at home. Sometimes, their most valuable role is simpler — noticing a child’s effort, encouraging another try, celebrating a small win, and making space for learning to become part of everyday life.
This is the kind of bridge Haryana is working to build. Central Square Foundation has noted that the NIPUN Haryana Parent App’s integration of gamified home-learning modules and holistic progress cards can help extend the learning and accountability loop beyond the school gate. With “Learn with Fun,” that loop can become more child-friendly: rooted in practice, supported by families, and powered by the joy of learning through play.
Chimple’s experience in Haryana has already shown the promise of a teacher-supported home-learning approach. Earlier work with Bharti Airtel Foundation’s Satya Bharti Schools explored how children could use their parents’ smartphones to practise curriculum-linked content at home, with teachers assigning activities and following up through familiar channels such as WhatsApp. The new NIPUN Haryana Parent App integration takes that spirit further, placing playful learning within a platform built to connect parents to their child’s foundational journey.
This work is made possible through collaboration: the Haryana Department of School Education, Dr. Parmod Kumar, Central Square Foundation colleagues Roopala Saxena and Bula, and the many educators and families helping make learning at home meaningful. Their shared work reflects an important idea — that when children have support in school and encouragement at home, learning can become more continuous, more personal, and more possible.
One engaging lesson at a time, children are returning to learn, practise, and grow.
