Dreamtime Learning Launches Curriculum-Based Model for Futuristic Schools
India, 13th September 2023: After transforming the education industry with micro-schooling, Dreamtime Learning has ushered in an innovative initiative called ‘Powered by Dreamtime Learning’ or “Powered by DTL”. This is a customized and personalized curriculum model which is tailored for future schools to transform and infuse technological advancements. Conceptualized keeping into consideration three Pillars of Futuristic Education viz. Brain & Behavioral Science, Entrepreneurial & Growth Mindset, Social-Emotional Intelligence the curriculum is crafted free from franchise norms or additional costs.
The franchise model in education is tied to numerous limitations, including restricted flexibility, higher expenses, inconsistent quality, and loss of community connection. Recognizing the imperative to transcend these limitations and embrace modernization, renowned educationist Ms. Lina Ashar after a 30+ years stint since Kangaroo Kids & Billabong High School, Introduces a game-changing concept, ‘Powered by DTL’. The curriculum is largely inherited by the International Standard Curriculum and a gamified curriculum designed for self-mastery. Aligned and structured with the NEP 2020, it also features an advanced and user-friendly Learning Management System (LMS) for better learning. Elevating the school management, the model also provides a teacher training program and gives access to upgrade pedagogy with all micro and macro approaches constantly.
Transforming education with an innovative concept, Ms Lina Ashar, Founder of Dreamtime Learning, said, “In an era marked by rapid advancements in AI, robotics, 3D printing, AR/VR, and biotech, it’s crucial to question: Are our schools truly equipping our children for this future? India is on the urge to transform the education ecosystem by adapting personalized learning concepts, however many schools persist with outdated ‘teach to the test’ methods, and focusing on information, which is already, obsolete. By focusing on and developing a dynamic environment for learners that align with their individual interests and preferences, it is also imperative to encourage schools as well as futuristic institutions to boost a new horizon. PoweredbyDTL integrates cutting-edge technological resources and a tailored approach driven by a futuristic curriculum. It also eliminates the franchise model for the school and thereby making the school owner the real Brand Owner. We need to move with the times and create a learning ecosystem that creates future professionals and citizens who can compete and flourish anywhere in the world.”
Dr. Swati Popat Vats, President, Early Childhood Association, said, “Dreamtime Learning’s vision for education is to make it a lifelong journey and future enabled for the kids. I am extremely delighted as President Early Childhood Association to be a part of such a revolutionary initiative by Dreamtime Learning that will not only revolutionize the way we approach education but also help adapt it to the rapidly changing, technologically advanced world. The aim to provide learners with the necessary skills, competencies and flexibility to thrive in any future venture is the need of the hour. This also encourages future schools to create a distinguished platform for learners”.
This curriculum-based model is all set to redefine the future of education by offering a dynamic and adaptable curriculum which comes along with LMS for Teachers, Learners, Parents and 360 degree academic support for the Teachers, that prepares learners of all ages for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.

CSR – Herbalife India and United Way of Bengaluru partner to rejuvenate Bommenahalli Lake under a two-year Wake The Lake campaign
Bangalore, September 12, 2023: United Way Bengaluru (UWBe), in collaboration with CSR partner Herbalife, a global health and wellness company marked a significant milestone with the commencement of a revitalization of the Bommenahalli Lake, situated in Bommenahalli Village, Mandur Panchayat, Bangalore Urban district. A groundbreaking ceremony was organized on 06/09/2023 in the presence of Uday Prakash, Vice-President – Operations and Finance, Herbalife India. The event was graced by Smt. Manjula Aravind Limbavali, MLA Bommenahalli.
This initiative falls under the flagship campaign ‘Wake The Lake’, aimed at revitalizing the deteriorating condition of the water bodies in the region. With a broader objective of rejuvenating lakes and enhancing their ecosystem, the ‘Wake The Lake’ Campaign strives to improve water quality, eliminate pollutants, and revitalize the surrounding environment.
Spanning 38 acres, Bomenahalli Lake faces challenges from surrounding urbanization, including the potential influx of construction waste, litter, weeds, and the risk of domestic greywater infiltration.
The restoration activities will be undertaken in two phases from 2023 to 2025. The initial phase will focus on strengthening the waterbody’s infrastructure and improving the water holding capacity by cleaning the inlet and outlet, followed by the subsequent phase, which will involve planting 1000 indigenous saplings of fruit and flower-bearing trees, native shrubs and herbs, raising community awareness, conduct sensitization programs, and establish a lake association for the sustainability of the intervention. It is envisaged that the green initiative will contribute to the absorption of 21,000 kg of carbon dioxide and the annual production of 118,000 kg of oxygen, fostering a healthier environment for all.
The Panchayat will play a key role in fixing and fencing the lake boundary.
Rajesh Krishnan, CEO of United Way Bengaluru, expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative, stating, “This project embodies our commitment to revitalize water bodies and transform them into nurturing spaces for communities, as part of our flagship ‘Wake The Lake’ campaign. The rejuvenation of Bommenahalli Lake will enhance water storage capacity, positively impact community well-being, benefit local farmers and livestock and enrich the region’s biodiversity.”
Commenting on the occasion, Uday Prakash, Vice-President – Operations and Finance, Herbalife India said “As the water crisis looms over India, reviving our lakes is becoming increasingly important. The ‘Wake The Lake’ campaign is a progressive step towards contributing to National Water Mission by Ministry of Jal Shakti. We are committed to restoring and rejuvenating Bommenahalli Lake to promote sustainable water management practices and improve the lives of the local community. The success of the campaign will be a testament to Herbalife’s commitment and dedication to environmental conservation.”
The groundbreaking ceremony sets the stage for a collaborative journey toward revitalizing Bommenahalli Lake through the unified effort of United Way Bengaluru, CSR partner Herbalife, Panchayat and the local community promoting environmental sustainability and fostering a brighter future for all.
