Campus Varta

Patna-based Campus Varta is a platform that brings together rural schools, colleges, and universities. The company currently provides its services to students in around 24 States, including Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Tamil Nadu, and Madhya Pradesh. The startup has partnered with institutes like IIT-Kharagpur, IIT-BHU, ISM Dhanbad, BIT Pilani, IIMs, and with Bihar-based colleges like IIT-Patna and IIM-Bodhgaya. As of now, information on the platform comes from campus ambassadors, freelance editors, press releases from institutes, and the startup team. However, Campus Varta plans to shift to user-based content soon. The platform is available only in English at present, but that may change given that a majority of the people coming on to the internet for the first time is more comfortable with regional languages. Campus Varta earns revenue through paid advertisements, events, paid projects, and commissions. The platform plans to add new versions and features to its website soon. These include user-based content in 10 regional languages, a section for campus events, and a facility to book auditoriums or space in institutions for events.
