“Had the chance to visit some students today who are learning to read using ‘Bolo’, excited for all the great books they’ll discover!,” Pichai further tweeted.
The company had launched it on 5th March wherein parents can download the free app to help primary grade children improve their Hindi and English-reading skills.

Google piloted “Bolo” with over 900 children in 200 villages in UP with the help of ASER Centre, a research and assessment unit of Pratham Education Foundation.
