The Delhi-based Educomp Solutions Ltd has launched a math-learning tool for classes 6 to 12 based on the NCERT curriculum.

The product, Mathguru.com, will provide step-by-step solutions for all math problems from NCERT schoolbooks through visual and voice explanation. The subscription to the site comes at Rs 1,200 a year for each student. ``We are targeting a subscriber base of 75,000 students in the current fiscal and 2,00,000 students by the end of the next fiscal," the Educomp Managing Director, Mr Shantanu Prakash, said.

The portal would also have solutions categorised on the basis of chapters so that students of other boards can also find solutions to their math problems.

Educomp will target private and the top Government schools as students of these schools have the most access to the Internet. Educomp will offer 20-25 per cent discount on the subscription fees to schools under special schemes.
