About Us

Education has been a key focus area of the Gajangi Memorial Foundation & Research Centre since inception – Currently, through the education portfolio, the Gajangi Memorial Foundation & Research Centre strive to provide „Authentic learning for all‟ in a comprehensive and holistic manner. The goal is to provide highquality, authentic, real-world, active learning experiences that mould productive and well-rounded 21st century citizens while also working to ensure equitable access to these learning opportunities.

India has a burgeoning population with a very young demographic. Over a quarter of India‟s 1.3 billion population is under the age of 14 – approximately 300 million children of school-going age who need a good education. And the first eight years of a child‟s life is critical – 80% of the child‟s brain is developed during this period

It is said that it takes a village to raise a child – parents, teachers, caregivers, friends and peers, and a lattice of public spaces such as schools, playgrounds, libraries, all comprise a modern village. However, in many communities, these linkages do not function well, or at all. At the unit level, the parents‟ own levels of education and financial empowerment impact the lives of their children.

At the community level, poverty and social mores hamper the opportunities available to children, and at a systemic level, lack of resources, over-centralisation and poor quality-assurance processes produce a sub-par public education system.

It‟s clear that students need better resources, teachers need to be supported in teaching more effectively, and that the government-led education network of 1.5 million schools needs to be lifted to a better standard
