If you are an aspiring/ emerging/ experienced educator, you can enrol to become a Bharat e-Shiksha Volunteer by filling up the following form;

BEVs would receive an honorarium and allowance to cover operational costs on a monthly basis. The honorarium will be deposited in your bank account between the 7th-10th of each following month.

Each BEV is given operational go-ahead only when there are at least 16 students. For programmatic optimization, we have kept the ideal number at 20 for each BEV. If at any point there are less than 16 learners under a BEV, we will look at each BEV case to case basis.

As BEVs, you act as a change agent in the community and we expect a minimum commitment of 9 months. On competition of 9 months, BEVS can transition out by serving a 30-day notice period. We urge our BEVs to help us find an equally deserving replacement from the community to continue the programme without disruption. You will have to hand over the devices and other operational responsibilities to the new BEV assigned to the Learning Group.
