Vikas believes that true development begins when every child gets the opportunity to learn well. Interestingly, his name itself means “development,” which connects closely with the work he does through Pratham. He works with teams across Africa, South Asia, and the MENA region to support Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) programs through content development, training, mentoring, and capacity-building support.
Mathematics has always been his first love, which led him to complete his graduation in Mathematics. To better understand the development sector and education systems, he later pursued a Master's degree in Development Management. Along with content and training, Vikas also enjoys working with data and believes it plays an important role in thoughtful decision-making and improving education programs.
