About Educational Intiatives

Three graduates of IIM Ahmedabad Sridhar Sudhir and Venkat quit their jobs that were highly paid at TATA IBM, ITW Signode and Sony Entertainment to start Eklavya School in Ahmedabad with an aim to help children learn with understanding.

However they soon realised that opening one model school will not be enough and more had to be done as lot of students are trapped in a rote learning system.

It was in 2001 that they co-founded Educational Initiatives (EI) with an aim to develop products and services based on research and assessment that can measure how children are learning. The first investor in the company was Srini Raghavan.

It is to note that BodhBridge is a company run by IIT Madras alumni. This service is being provided free of cost for the benefit of school students with whom teachers spend a significant time, enabling them to understand their strengths, weaknesses, and interests.

Teachers can help cultivate aspirations early, helping students visualize career goals and motivating them to work towards them, say sources from IITMPTF.

Target

In the short term, the initiative is targeting to cover 10,000 School Teachers across 5,000 Schools across India in the next 3 months. The first batch of training commences on 14th December.

This certification program aims to equip all teachers with the knowledge, tools and strategies to play an even more significant role in guiding and supporting students in making informed decisions about their career paths, said Balamurali of IITMPTF.

By providing this training free of cost, we are committed to creating accessible pathways for teachers to develop skills that can shape the futures of countless students, he said.
