Samarpan Siksha Abhiyaan and Life Skills curriculum is unique in many aspects:
* It moves away from the information based, teacher-centered education to process centered and learner-friendly education with a focus on how to think rather than on rote memory.
* It is based on very low operational cost; basically just a teacher's manual (common across all levels) and a teacher's reference activity book; it requires no books for the students or costly equipment or elaborate visual aids.
* It does not constitute a separate subject, easily integrated into other subjects and topics being taught in the class; detailed material available for the teacher so that she need not spend extra time preparing for the topic.
