Pramaan
Build a bridge that holds
Paper, tape and a target load. Teams test, break and redesign until it holds, then explain why it held.
The curriculum of proof, inside your school, after the bell.
For schools across India, grades 6 to 8. Grow the three things the students of tomorrow need, curiosity, confidence and agency. Every child graduates with a Pramaan certificate and a one-page holistic report mapped to the Holistic Progress Card.
- Schools anywhere in India
- Run in person, in the school day's last hour
- A Pramaan certificate and a holistic report for every child

Interdisciplinary, real-world projects, inside your timetable.
Each session gives your students one real problem that pulls in several subjects, and ends with something built. These are the kinds of problems they take on.
Pitch a product to a panel
Find a problem people would pay to solve, prototype the fix, price it, and pitch it to a panel of parents.
Feed a city of a crore
Plan a meal that is healthy, affordable and could be cooked ten million times a day.
Design for a hotter planet
Work out how heat moves, then design and test a way to keep a room cooler without power.
Argue the future
Should AI grade exams? Teams gather evidence, argue both sides, then defend one position in front of the room.
Run a one-day venture
Start with a small budget, make something, sell it, then count the profit and the lessons.
Ask. Build. Lead.
An after-school programme inside your school, run in person by Pramaan with your teacher in the room. Maximum 24 learners in six teams. 90-minute sessions built on our curriculum, with a different build or exploration each week.
Every session, on paper.
Questions asked per child. Guesses, each with a confidence number. Errors fixed. What came back a week later. At the start, middle and end: the Curiosity and Exploration Inventory-II, the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory and Bandura's self-efficacy scales. The report: one page per child and per cohort, a holistic account of where they started, what they built and asked, and where they ended.
