I learnt a lot, from geopolitics to the sciences, and saw how interconnected things are. A holistic education you don’t get in the formal sector.

For students in Grades 8 to 12 and undergraduates
Real work for curious students.
Students represent a country at a summit, argue a policy case, build a product with AI, or take one question all the way to a finished research paper. One Young India runs live programmes, online and on campus, and Learnacy Essential, a year of independent work at the student’s own pace.
Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun’s rays do not burn until brought to a focus.

Designed so holistically that it opened my eyes to opportunities out there. So different and diversifying, from geopolitics to math to leadership.

Limitless, boundless learning, and unbelievable fun, because you do it with other people. We learnt to innovate, to present, to think differently.

It inspired me to be aware of what’s happening around me and to be curious in general. I’d eagerly wait for the next session.

The way technology was used to deliver so many concepts was new and interesting. It gave me the perspective of doing my own research.

The love of learning was at the epicentre. The openness to opinions and questions helped us not to limit ourselves at any point.

Play gives knowledge a job to do.
In a simulation, you have a role, a decision and people who may disagree. Research helps you prepare. Discussion tests your reasoning. Writing makes your position clear enough for someone else to question.
Debate a decision Investigate a case Build a prototype Question the evidence Write an argument
Follow the connections between subjects.
A climate decision involves science, economics and politics. A business idea needs mathematics, design and communication. Our curriculum uses questions like these to bring subjects into the same conversation.
Five skills, practised through the work.
The 5 C’s give students and mentors a shared language for what they are practising.
Critical Thinking
Compare sources and explain why one claim is better supported.
Creativity
Try a different approach, then test whether it works.
Collaboration
Negotiate priorities and make a decision with other people.
Curiosity
Follow a question beyond the first answer.
Communication
Make an argument another person can follow and question.
Learnacy Essential
A year of serious, independent work.
For ₹1,499, a student gets a year to take one real question all the way to a finished research paper, with feedback from an AI writing coach, and to submit it to The OYI Review. A plan includes editorial review, and publication of one paper if it is accepted. Publication is not guaranteed.
Essential pays for the tools, the course and the feedback. It never buys acceptance.
What the year includes
- The Writing Studio
- Feedback from an AI writing coach on drafts, unlimited drafts and images in papers, and submission to The OYI Review when the paper is ready. Drafting in all 15 formats, with rubrics and citation tools, is free with an account.
- Editorial review
- Each submitted paper is scored on the review rubric and checked for originality. It can be accepted when it averages at least 4 out of 5 with no criterion below 3, and passes the editorial checks. A plan includes editorial review, and publication of one paper if it is accepted. Publication is not guaranteed.
- The Model NITI Aayog self-paced course
- 41 chapters, about 19 hours of study, on how India makes policy, from the policy cycle and writing a white paper to the economy, the Union Budget and governance.
- World 101’s member tools
- Key people, timelines, debates and data across 365+ subjects and thousands of non-obvious threads.
- Learnacy Labs in 3D (Beta)
- Step inside the lab, move around the room, pick up the tools and run the experiment yourself: Chemistry, Geography and Biology today, with more subjects as they are built.
₹1,499 for the year. One payment, including GST. No automatic renewal. Live programmes and mentorship are separate; each live programme includes a year of Learnacy Essential.

Which programme is right for me?
Start with a subject you want to investigate: world affairs, public policy, entrepreneurship or an ongoing mentorship. Programmes serve students in Grades 8 to 12 and undergraduates, with eligibility and formats listed on each programme page.
What will students actually do?
Depending on the programme, students represent a delegation, discuss a policy question, test a business idea or develop original research. The work gives them practice in using evidence, making decisions, speaking and writing.
Can I use the Writing Studio without joining a programme?
Yes. Drafting in the Writing Studio is free with a Learnacy account, in every format. Feedback from an AI writing coach and submitting or resubmitting a paper need Learnacy Essential. Every submission goes through editorial review against the review rubric, and accepted Studio papers receive a published page and a verifiable certificate of publication. Publication depends on review and is not guaranteed.
Is Learnacy Essential part of the programme fee?
It works the other way round. Learnacy Essential (₹1,499 for the year) can be bought on its own, and every paid registration for a live programme includes a year of it. Mentorship is separate.
What are the dates, format and fees?
The programme cards show the listed cohorts, delivery mode and fees. Open a programme for its full details and registration options. Mentorship is arranged through an enquiry.
Can we ask about financial support or a school partnership?
Yes. Contact us to ask about scholarships on our programmes, or to discuss a programme for your school. Share the learner’s interests or your school’s needs so we can suggest a relevant next step.
