The lineup of games brought out teamwork, strategy, and plenty of laughter, and even the afternoon rain couldn't slow them down. Pleased to share a few glimpses from the exciting day.

We are proud to announce our partnership with EnglishHelper and VIDYA Schools to bring the Reading & Comprehension Assistant (RCA), an AI-powered English learning platform to students in the Delhi NCR region. This year-long initiative is designed to uplift underserved students by strengthening their English proficiency and confidence, while aligning with both NCERT and CEFR standards. The program benefits 645 students from Grades 4 to 10 across VIDYA’s network. So far, nearly 75% of learners have improved by at least one CEFR level. The rollout is structured in phases, starting with Grades 8 & 9, and expanding to younger cohorts. At Anko Sourcing, we believe social impact is integral to our operations and we are committed to contributing meaningfully in the communities where we operate. We are grateful for the opportunity to team up with visionary partners like EnglishHelper and VIDYA Schools. Together, we hope to create pathways for students to access better education, express themselves with confidence, and aspire to greater possibilities. Let’s keep building.
