Kotak Education Foundation (KEF), the CSR implementing agency of Kotak Mahindra Group, has started its implementation of a large-scale capacity building program, spanning 13 districts and impacting over 300 PM Shri schools in Maharashtra. This  program gears towards teachers with the skills, tools, and guidance needed to build stronger learning environments for students. Designed as a teacher-centric program, the focus lies on enhancing the professional capacity of educators across four critical areas:

– Leadership Development

– Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN)

– Communicative English

– Pedagogical Technology (PedTech)

At the heart of the program lies a commitment to support teachers in helping students achieve the learning outcomes defined under NIPUN Bharat. By strengthening classroom pedagogy and ensuring effective implementation, the program aims to transform teaching practices and student learning experiences.

The initiative provides comprehensive on-ground support to educators through:

– Regular school visits for continuous guidance

– Assistance in daily teaching practices

– Interactive workshops that encourage innovation and outcome-oriented learning and hands on learning

Speaking on the Program, Ms. Sangita Dandapat, Project Head, FLN, Kotak Education Foundation, said, “Through the PM SHRI Capacity Building Program, we are investing in our greatest asset, our teachers. By equipping them with leadership skills, innovative pedagogies, and foundational learning, we are not just enhancing classrooms learning, we are shaping futures. The program ensures that quality learning reaches every child, in every corner of our districts.”

This approach ensures that training translates effectively into practice, enabling educators to create engaging and impactful classrooms. By equipping teachers with leadership skills, foundational skills (FLN), innovative pedagogical methods, 21st century skills and technological know-how, the program is fostering a culture of excellence that directly benefits students and strengthens the education ecosystem. With its sustained focus on capacity-building, the program is laying the foundation for long-term, scalable impact in the education sector.

PM SHRI School

PM SHRI School is a centrally sponsored scheme by the Government of India. This initiative is intended to develop more than 14500 PM SHRI Schools managed by Central Government/State/UT Government/local bodies including KVS and NVS in which every student feels welcomed and cared for, where a safe and stimulating learning environment exists, where a wide range of learning experiences are offered, and where good physical infrastructure and appropriate resources conducive to learning are available to all students. The pedagogy adopted in these schools will be more experiential, holistic, integrated, play/toy-based (particularly in the foundational years), inquiry-driven, discovery-oriented, learner-centred, discussion-based, flexible, and enjoyable. The focus will be on the learning outcomes of every child in every grade. Through this scheme the students will engage productively and contribute in building an equitable, inclusive, and plural society as envisaged by the National Education Policy 2020.
