Bringing play into pedagogy
About One Young India
Since 2019, One Young India has brought subjects together through programmes, mentorship and learning resources.We make room for curiosity, play and learning for its own sake, helping young people ask questions, explore ideas and create work of their own.
The idea it starts with
Learnacy: learning how to learn.
The habit of learning can last long after school.
Our founder, Swagat Yadav, explores this idea in Learnacy: Reflections on Lifelong Learning. It also shapes Learnacy Mentorship and our digital products, which share the Learnacy name.

Digital learning Learnacy
World 101 connects ideas across subjects. Writing Studio supports original writing, from a first question through revision. Learnacy Labs needs a free Learnacy account, and the 3D labs come with Learnacy Essential.
Resources and student work
Our free study notes, articles and explainers offer ways into subjects and current questions. The student paper library shares original work accepted through editorial review.
The correlative curriculum
A curriculum that connects subjects.
A question about a river can involve geography, economics, science and politics. Our curriculum brings these perspectives together. Students use them in discussions, simulations and projects, with different programmes exploring different parts of the curriculum.
