Readiness is important when it comes to learning. Because a ready child, a ready school and a ready family can help in creating the successful learning experiences for a child (UNICEF, 2012). It is to bridge the transition from one class to another by utilizing the initial days of the new session. Haryana Government introduced Class Readiness Programme (CRP) in the year 2013 to create readiness for learning among the students. This programme is being run during the initial days of a new session aimed at equipping the schools to address various curricular issues faced by the students in addition to creating readiness among the students through various activity-based learning experiences.

The paper reflects on the findings from the evaluative study of Class Readiness Programme (CRP). The data analysis revealed the impact of CRP and also reported various intervening factors hindering the achievement of CRP objectives. The programme emerged to be successful in creating readiness among the students but with certain challenges like infrastructure, parental support, teacher preparedness and prevalent evaluation practices.
