In early 2000, Azim Premji Foundation set out to work in the field of elementary education in government schools across India. The Foundation hoped to impact the quality of education of India at a deep and institutional level in close partnership with the government.
Over the years, the foundation set up district level institutions that worked to improve the capacity of teachers, school leaders, teacher educators and administrators in public education.
A decade of grassroots work generated critical insights into the challenges and opportunities on the ground. The biggest need of the hour was for well-qualified professionals in the social sector.
Azim Premji University was set up in response to this need in 2010. We began with two programmes in education and development, along with courses for working professionals that enhanced the capacity of those who already work in the field.
Everybody who works with us brings a desire to come together and build a just, equitable, humane and sustainable society. We work as a team not divided by traditional disciplinary boundaries or functional hierarchies.
Join our diverse community of practitioners, academics, students and administrators. We believe in learning from one another each day. You can go on to make meaningful changes to India’s vast social sector with our extensive network of institutions on the ground.
