Chambal Academy
Chambal Academy is an online learning platform tailored specifically for India’s small-town and rural audiences. The courses, trainings and toolkits available on Chambal Academy are designed with the idea of enabling rural audiences, especially women and girls off the connectivity grid, into Digital Bharat - as producers, consumers and an empowered workforce.
The flagship rural mobile journalism course introduces students to rural digital journalism specifically from a feminist perspective. It enables them to recognize and understand gender, caste, and patriarchy in Indian society, and how these affect the media we create. The course develops digital media skills in audiences with little or no exposure to media or technology, preparing them to be confident, active digital storytellers in their communities, as well as prepared for a range of jobs in the digital workforce. Chambal Academy is powered by Chambal Media.
