The British Council implemented an English and Digital for Girls Education (EDGE) programme in 23 EDGE clubs of 7 states. EDGE programme focuses on improving life prospects and building English, ICT and social skills among adolescent girls between 14 – 19 years. Building on the success of pilot phase, the second phase started in December 2019 with the training of 21 DEF centre coordinators from 23 centres after they were selected and given orientation to Peer Group Leaders (PGLs) of each location so that they could build their leadership skills and confidence to facilitate English and digital sessions in these clubs. These 23 WhatsApp clubs are running for over ten weeks beginning 11th January 2021 with 10 to 12 participants in each club.
