Azim Premji Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation in India with an overarching goal to create and sustain initiatives to contribute to a just, equitable, humane and sustainable society. The Foundation’s work is aimed at enriching and enhancing the capabilities of individuals, groups and institutions to achieve well-being and harmony in a socially and culturally diverse democratic polity. The Foundation was instituted in 2001 to make a significant and long-term contribution to national development. For this, it identified education as the primary domain of work because of the direct impact and the large positive multiplier effect it has on different aspects of development – economic, social and cultural development and the attainment of the promise enshrined in our Constitution. For over a decade now, the Foundation has been active in supporting the primary education sector. It has partnered with state governments across India to pilot initiatives that have the potential for systemic reform to enhance the quality of elementary education within government run school systems. The Foundation’s programmes have reached out to over 20,000 schools through its work in partnership with the Governments of 13 Indian States.
