About Central Square Foundation

Established in 2012, Central Square Foundation (CSF) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to enhancing the learning outcomes of all school-going children across India through system-led reforms. As a catalytic enabler, our initiatives span innovation and policy to practice and focus on learning impact at scale across 14 states. At the heart of our mission is our strategic focus on Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN), which drives our collaborative efforts with 11 state governments to design and execute statewide FLN missions. Additionally, we prioritise EdTech integration, aiming to deploy digital solutions for in-class and at-home learning and establish evidence-based practices while also tapping into the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to augment learning outcomes. We are deeply committed to Early Childhood Education (ECE) reforms, recognizing the critical role it plays in laying a strong groundwork for childrens learning journey, thereby augmenting FLN outcomes. We also work in the area of School Governance, extending our system-level approach to children in both private and government schools, to strengthen the countrys education landscape.
