VK Global Publications revolutionizes learning with hybrid textbooks, integrating QR-coded content for interactive, multi-level explanations in key subjects.
on Jan 29, 2025

The textbook publishing industry is evolving rapidly, blending traditional print with digital advancements to enhance learning. VK Global Publications, a leading name in school and higher education textbooks, has introduced a new hybrid approach - integrating QR-coded content for audio-visual explanations. This innovation aims to bridge the gap between printed books and digital resources, making learning more interactive and accessible.

Bringing Complex Concepts to Life

VK Global’s new textbooks for economics, mathematics, and English now feature QR codes that provide students with video explanations, animations, and insights on challenging topics. A simple scan of the code on the textbook page grants instant access to supplementary content, enriching students’ understanding of complex concepts like ‘National Income’ in economics or calculus in mathematics.

The SHIVARTH Initiative

This innovation is part of VK Global’s SHIVARTH initiative—Simple, Holistic & Immersive, Visual & Audio Resource for Teaching & High-Impact Learning. Currently implemented in textbooks for 9th and 10th standard students, SHIVARTH aims to revolutionize classroom engagement by providing multi-level explanations tailored to different learning needs.

The textbooks offer two levels of difficulty - ‘Baseline’ for foundational understanding and ‘Expert’ for advanced learners. Each chapter includes:

Hints for selected questions

Detailed definitions

Step-by-step guides for charts and graphs

Summaries and exam-oriented questions

Balancing Traditional Learning with Digital Convenience

Rohit Jain, Director of VK Global Publications, highlights a major challenge in post-pandemic education - students now prefer digital content over textbooks, relying heavily on platforms like YouTube for simplified explanations. “Our hybrid textbooks aim to keep learning engaging while ensuring students develop critical and technical thinking skills,” he explains.

American futurist Robert Anton Wilson once said, “Belief is the death of intelligence.” VK Global’s connected textbooks encourage students to question, explore, and verify information rather than passively accept digital content at face value.

A Legacy of Educational Excellence

Founded in 1979, VK Global Publications has been a trusted name in Indian education, publishing over 3,000 titles across school, college, and university levels. As they continue innovating, the company remains committed to high-quality content and advancing learning through technology-driven solutions.

VK Global sees education as both a social responsibility and a powerful opportunity in a growing democracy, ensuring students receive comprehensive and intellectually stimulating resources.
