"A family who benefited from the Digital Entrepreneur Led Platform for Higher Education Project"
In February 2016, Plan India, in partnership with i2india, initiated a study to assess the feasibility for creating digital platforms that provides education, healthcare and vocational skills development services in rural areas. The study concluded that such a platform, combined with a strategy that taps existing entrepreneurial and investment potential at the village level, could help achieve massive reach and scale up of Plan India’s goals.
The DELPHI (Digital Entrepreneur Led Platform for Higher Education) project is designed as an Aggregator Model where Plan India works as an aggregator of development services provided by Village Level Entrepreneur (VLEs) in programme areas who can emerge as the new front line for providing impactful services in rural communities. The project aims to identify, nurture and support at least 10,000 VLEs.
