Projects
Built on the ground. Tested at scale. Strengthening classrooms across India.
Since inception, Sterlite EdIndia Foundation has partnered with governments, private institutions, and schools to solve on-ground challenges in education, where the impact shows immediate and long-term results: inside classrooms.
Our past projects reflect a consistent belief: when teachers, parents, and systems are supported meaningfully, learning outcomes improve at scale. These programs shaped the way we design our current work, combining technology, capacity-building, and system-level thinking to create sustainable change.

Project Pragyan (2019-24)
In-service teacher capacity building at scaleProject Pragyan has been one of EdIndia's largest in-service teacher development initiatives under Sterlite School Tech Foundation. It focused on building teacher capacity for competency-based teaching, in alignment with the principles later articulated in NEP 2020. The program combined technology, continuous academic support, and on-ground mentoring to strengthen classroom practice across diverse contexts.
Cumulative Impact- 1,90,000+ teachers reached online
- 700+ teachers from 223 government schools supported on-ground
- 1,200+ digital teaching resources created
- Implemented across Rajasthan, Tripura and Uttarakhand
- Curriculum-mapped digital content delivered through the Pragyan App
- Blended professional development models combining online and on-ground support
- Continuous academic mentoring and structured feedback
- Classroom observations, school visits, and leadership engagement
- Strong partnerships with SCERTs and state education departments
- Large-scale virtual teacher support during COVID-19 to ensure continuity of learning
- Mobile-first training approaches using platforms such as YouTube and WhatsApp
- Peer learning communities to strengthen collaboration among teachers
As part of the Pragyan initiative, EdIndia also supported government schools with Smart TVs and digital classroom infrastructure. These were not just devices, but integrated learning systems supported by teacher training, content integration, and continuous handholding to ensure meaningful classroom use.
Reach- 100 schools in Rajasthan
- 100 schools in Tripura
- 23 schools in Uttarakhand
Project Pragyan redefined large-scale teacher professional development by moving away from one-time workshops toward sustained, practice-oriented, and technology-enabled academic support. The program demonstrated that meaningful teacher capacity building requires continuity, contextualisation, and strong system partnerships.
