We also support exceptional social entrepreneurs with powerful ideas, undertake application-oriented research, provide a platform for sharing of innovation, and collaborate with other stakeholders in the ecosystem to find policy solutions - all towards enabling sustained change in Indias educational system.

CSFs team members bring a deep sense of commitment and passion towards our collective vision that every child deserves quality education.
