NagaEd has officially launched LEAP Year 2 in Kiphire, one of India’s most remote regions, under the NITI Aayog Aspirational Districts Program. The kick-off for the 2nd year of LEAP took place at the Deputy Commissioner’s Office, marking the beginning of an ambitious effort to equip teachers and students in the district with globally relevant skills, AI tools, and digital education resources, informed a press release by NagaEd.
The Learning Enhancement and Accessibility Project (LEAP) is designed to enhance the skills, capabilities, and confidence of educators through targeted training. The program complements core skills highlighted in the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025, including technological literacy, empathy and active listening, curiosity and lifelong learning. As part of this year’s training, teachers were introduced to LIVI AI, NagaEd’s AI-powered digital teacher, which will now be made available to both teachers and students across government and private schools in Kiphire.
“I congratulate NagaEd, our education department, teachers, and students for taking this progressive step forward. The foundation has been laid, and now it is time to build upon it with conviction, dedication, and innovation. As we step into Year 2 of LEAP Kiphire, let us challenge ourselves to dream bigger. Let us aim for every school in Kiphire to be digitally equipped, every teacher to be digitally trained, and every student to be digitally empowered,” said Takatemjen Pongen, NCS, EAC, Kiphire.
The training also included an interactive workshop on leveraging AI in the classroom, alongside capacity-building sessions to support teachers in adopting emerging technologies in their daily teaching practices.
