Project Description

 

Attention is under attack. Modern social apps hijack dopamine-based reward circuits to keep us scrolling, making it harder than ever to sit down and complete Nitnem with full presence for everyone but especially for kids.

Khalis has a solution for that - the next evolution of Sundar Gutka!

Khalis foundation is bringing education-first evolution to the classic Sundar Gutka, built to help children, teens, and families to build Nitnem habit easily and pronounce Gurmukhi confidently.

With your support we can deliver on the promise of a seamless Nitnem Experience

What we’re building


1) Nitnem Streaks - Reward Consistency!

  • Streaks that reward you for doing Nitnem regularly.
  • Track daily completion and “on-time” windows you set.
  • Momentum badges that reward consistency over hype.
  • Miss a day? Recover gracefully. No shaming.
  • Private by default; share only if you choose.


2) Kids Mode - Make it Interesting!

  • Friendly UI with big, readable type and clear icons.
  • Gradual scaffolds: optional transliteration/translation that fade as skill grows.
  • Effort-based celebrations that keep kids engaged without pressure.
  • Gamification with badges and nanak coins.

3) Themes + myPothi - Make it Personal!

  • Create your own Pothi - select a group of shabads and add it to your Nitnem.
  • Soothing, high-contrast, and classic themes designed for long, comfortable reading.
  • Pick your favorite colors, fonts and layouts.
  • Special themes for special occasions
  • Fine-grained controls for font size and spacing so every reader finds their flow.


4)   Santhya

  • And most exciting of all - AI Powered and Expert Reviewed Santhya Training.
  • Expert-in-the-loop with Santhya Experts to preserve tone and meaning.
  • Word-by-word guidance with respectful, precise tips.
  • Practice at normal or slow pace; repeat tricky words until they click.
  • Progress insights that show what improved and what to practice next.


Why it matters for Education & Youth Development


Today’s social apps are engineered to hook attention by tapping the brain’s reward circuits. That makes it harder, especially for kids to sit down and do Nitnem with full focus. Sundar Gutka Learn uses similar mechanics for good: clear goals, gentle streaks, timely nudges, and visible progress that make practice inviting, not addictive.

Accurate Pronunciation: Short, steady Santhya practice builds accurate Gurmukhi, line by line.
Healthy motivation: Streaks reward consistency and effort—no noisy gimmicks, no shame.
Special Mode for kids: Friendly layouts and simple feedback turn “I should” into “I want to.”
Family-friendly rhythm: Themes and reminders help households keep a calm daily routine.

Thoughtful design turns intention into habit, and moves us toward Better Nitnem for Millions.
