EXEE 2025 Begins in Ranipet – A Doorstep Education Movement That Could Change India Forever
On July 27, 2025, something remarkable happened in the industrial heartland of Tamil Nadu — Ranipet. In a grand but meaningful gathering, leaders from politics, industry, and education came together under one roof for a shared mission: to bring meaningful, accessible education to India’s working class and underserved communities.
Organized by Touch Campus, India’s first AI-powered education guidance platform, the EXEE 2025 (Excellence in Employees Education) launch event was more than just a formal program. It was the beginning of a movement that aims to bring higher education, skill-based training, and personalized academic guidance directly to people's homes and workplaces — starting with industrial areas and expanding to every panchayat in the country.
The venue — N.K. Kannan Lakshimi Mahal — was buzzing with anticipation, not only because of the high-profile guest list but also because of the hope it symbolized. Employees, HR leaders, college representatives, and community members came not just to listen, but to dream.
Voices That Matter
The event was graced by several powerful and influential figures:
-
Dr. Anil Bonde, Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) and National Secretary of BJP Kisan Morcha
-
Thiru Anandan, BJP District President, Ranipet
-
Dr. B.R. Damodaren Yadav, State President – Samajwadi Party
-
Mr. Radha Rammohan, Director of Online Studies, Hindustan University
-
Mr. Valliappan, Senior HR – SAME DEUTZ India Pvt. Ltd.
-
Mr. Muthiah, Secretary – SIPCOT Phase 1 & 2 Industries Association
-
Mr. Babu Raj (A) Delhi Babu K, CEO of Touch Campus and Founder of Shree Adhitya Education
Despite their different affiliations, everyone shared one message: India’s future will be built not just in classrooms, but in homes, factories, villages, and every corner where learning has been out of reach — until now.
“Let Every Home Become a Classroom” — Dr. Anil Bonde
Dr. Bonde’s keynote struck a deep chord with the audience. He didn’t just talk about policy or plans — he spoke from the heart.
“Let every home in India become a classroom,” he said. “From housewives to grandparents, no one should be denied a second chance at education.”
He passionately supported the VSOS (Vocational Skill Open Schooling) initiative by Shree Adhitya Education, and pushed for its COBSE listing, stating it would open doors for lakhs of learners.
Dr. Bonde also stressed the need to align with national frameworks like NCRF (National Credit Framework) and NSQF (National Skills Qualifications Framework) to ensure that learning gained through work experience is recognized just like formal education.
What is EXEE, and Why Does It Matter?
EXEE 2025 stands for Excellence in Employees Education, but its purpose goes far beyond industrial training. It is a national model that:
-
Brings UGC-approved online degrees to workers, homemakers, and rural learners
-
Offers vocational and skilling programs recognized by universities and skill councils
-
Sends trained counselors directly to factories, towns, and villages for free career guidance
-
Launches home-based learning tools powered by AI and integrated with university systems
This aligns with the national goals of:
-
Viksit Bharat @ 2047
-
Digital Bharat
-
Skilled India Mission
-
Enhancing Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER) across rural and working populations
The Big Reveal: A Learning Device for Every Household
One of the most exciting moments of the day was the announcement of a Set-Top Box–style learning device by Touch Campus.
CEO Mr. Babu Raj described it as “India’s first interactive AI-powered home education box”, which would be installed in homes, hostels, community centers, and even in panchayat offices.
Imagine this:
A mother finishing her school education while her son studies for college — on the same device. A retired employee finally learning English or earning a diploma. Youth preparing for government exams after working hours — all from the comfort of home.
“We want to turn every living room into a classroom,” said Mr. Babu Raj. “Education should no longer be limited by geography, income, or age.”
The device will connect with university LMS portals, provide live lectures, AI-based career counseling, and even link to eSeva services for easier access to government schemes.
Support From Industry and Academia
The corporate world didn’t just clap — they committed.
-
Mr. Valliappan, HR from SAME DEUTZ, spoke about the direct link between education and improved job roles. “Skilled employees don’t just benefit themselves — they uplift the entire company,” he said.
-
Mr. Radha Rammohan from Hindustan University confirmed that online degrees are now globally accepted and backed by government frameworks.
-
Mr. Muthiah, speaking on behalf of over 200 companies, promised full industrial cooperation for future counseling camps and enrollments.
Politics with Purpose: A United Front
One of the most heartwarming takeaways was the cross-party support for EXEE:
-
Thiru Anandan from BJP committed to expanding the initiative across all districts of Tamil Nadu
-
Dr. Damodaren Yadav, despite being from an opposition party, declared:
“This is not politics. This is progress. Let us leave our party lines aside and make this a people's movement.”
?️ What’s Next?
This was just the beginning. EXEE will soon launch:
-
Multi-lingual campaigns for homemakers, dropouts, and rural learners
-
District-wise counselor appointments to reach every industrial estate
-
Franchise model partnerships with local colleges for on-ground presence
-
Academic tie-ups with open boards and universities for recognition and certification
Final Words
The EXEE 2025 event was more than a press release or a formal ceremony — it was India’s grassroots-level education revolution taking shape in real time.
Ranipet was the beginning. The entire country is next.
As Dr. Bonde rightly said:
“Let India not fall behind in the global education revolution. Let us rise — educated, skilled, and united — toward a truly Viksit Bharat.”
