Director, Research & Design – Mantra4Change
Thanks to ShikshaLokam’s support, we have successfully integrated an observation capability within the E-Kshamata application, enhancing our ability to assess and strengthen the competencies of healthcare workers. This feature has been instrumental in our collaboration with the Uttar Pradesh -Technical Support Unit, where Zonal Nursing Specialists utilize structured OSCE checklists to evaluate and mentor Staff Nurses in Newborn Stabilization Units. This data-driven approach has not only improved frontline service delivery but also fostered a robust mentor-mentee ecosystem, ensuring continuous professional development and excellence.
