About this initiative

A shared standard.
An open conversation.

For students who deserve better tools and builders who want to make them.

What this charter is for.

Student First proposes five ethical standards for student software in India. It gives developers a clear guide for building software that respects student privacy, time and financial dignity.

Paid tools, online classes and cloud features can be helpful. They should come with upfront prices, clear choices and respect for student data.

Displaying the charter badge in a README shows a personal or team commitment. It is not an official government certification or an audited guarantee.
