About Kotak Kshamata (Capacity building)
The wealth of actionable insights garnered over the years, combined with the pedagogical expertise and field experience has inspired KEF to design Kotak Kshamata (Kindling Scholastic Acumen and Mediating Academic and Technological Awareness). Kotak Kshamata aims to develop the skills of educational practitioners across levels and build scalability for student learning outcomes. It will work hand-in-hand with prevailing digital infrastructure and technology.
As we expand our footprint, we envision Kshamata as a catalyst for systemic change, addressing critical issues in education in collaboration with the government and key stakeholders. Kotak Kshamata complements the state governments capacity-building effort and will be instrumental in cultivating teacher leaders and nurturing academic growth. It will bolster the all-round development of students, amplify access to academic and economic opportunity, and foster trust at the grassroots in the community.

Extensive learner outreach and the competence to mould instructional specialists into able mentors in a flexible, progressive educational landscape distinguishes Kshamata as a vital, valuable program contributing to teacher, student and school success.
