The Circle supports micro-innovations in classrooms, schools, and communities through the utilisation of micro-grants. We will offer innovation grants up to one lakh to educators who want to reinvent education.
To ensure that our leaders are aiming for breakthrough and imaginative solutions which have the potential to be game-changing, we want to encourage people – who are ready – to begin innovating, experimenting, and aiming for a reimagined education, and start to build momentum.
Deadline for application: September 15, 2024 | 11.59 PM Want to hear about the grant in Hindi? Here’s a quick video!
