FAQ

Established in 2019, Sterlite EdIndia Foundation is a Section 8 non-profit strengthening India's education through teacher education, institutional capacity building, and data-driven governance.

EdIndia works with Teacher Education Institutions, pre-service teachers, and system-level administrators, using technology, data analytics, and research-led interventions to strengthen learning ecosystems.

EdIndia runs three core programmes:

  • Teacher Education Programme — building future-ready teachers
  • Institutional Strengthening Programme — supporting SCERTs in their journey of transforming DIETs into Centres of Excellence
  • Data Analytics Support Programme — enabling evidence-based governance across state education systems

One well-prepared teacher transforms hundreds of lives over a 35-year career. Strengthening teacher education is therefore the single most effective lever for improving learning outcomes across India's public schools.

EdIndia currently operates in Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Chhattisgarh, Tripura, Maharashtra, and Arunachal Pradesh, working with SCERTs, DIETs, municipal corporations, and teacher education institutions, with plans to expand to more states in the future.

Teachers, teacher educators, DIET and SCERT faculty, school administrators, decision-makers, and policymakers across six states and ultimately, every student learning in India's public schools.

Impact is measured through independent third-party assessments, pre-post evaluations, and akrava app performance data ensuring every intervention is evidence-backed and continuously refined for stronger outcomes.

EdIndia operates as a systemic partner, not just an implementer. Since 2019, it has worked directly with SCERTs, DIETs, and state governments, building institutional capacity that continues after programme timelines end.

By embedding data systems, building institutional frameworks, and aligning SCERTs and DIETs with NEP 2020, EdIndia strengthens the structures that govern how teachers are prepared and students are taught at scale.

NGOs like EdIndia bridge the gap between policy and ground-level implementation partnering with government institutions, building systemic capacity, and generating evidence that informs state-level educational reform.

What NEP 2020 Actually Changes About Teacher Education in India

Thirty-four years is a long time. That’s how long India ran its education system on the same foundational policy — from 1986 all the way until 2020. So when the National Education Policy 2020 landed, it wasn’t just a tweak. It was a complete rethink.
