DIGITAL LEARNING PLATFORM FOR RURAL SCHOOL STUDENTS IN NABHA

In rural India, the digital education divide between urban and village schools continues to widen. Students in small towns like Nabha, Punjab face critical barriers including poor internet connectivity, absence of digital infrastructure, and limited access to quality learning resources. The COVID-19 pandemic further exposed the fragility of traditional classroom-only education. This situation demands innovative, low-cost, and offline-capable solutions that can deliver quality learning regardless of internet availability. This paper presents NabhaEdu, an offline-first Progressive Web Application (PWA) built on React.js and Spring Boot, designed specifically for rural school students. The platform allows students to download lessons using IndexedDB for offline access, take MCQ-based quizzes with instant feedback, and track their learning progress through visual dashboards. Teachers are provided a full Content Management System (CMS) to create courses, add Markdown lessons, and monitor student performance in real time. An Admin panel enables centralized user and content management. The application is bilingual, supporting both English and Punjabi (Gurmukhi), and is designed to run on basic Android smartphones. NabhaEdu v2.0 represents a practical, deployable solution to bridge the digital education gap in rural Punjab, with a scalable architecture that supports future AI-powered enhancements.
