Our Programmes
Exemplar Schools
New Delhi
Our journey began when we turned around an under-resourced government school in Lajpat Nagar by forging a Public Private Partnership (PPP) with South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) in 2015. Eventually, we saw a dramatic improvement in the enrolment— from 9 to 200 students in just a year. When enrolment numbers increased, we even had a waiting list at the school, a rare occurrence for a government-run school. Following the success of Lajpat Nagar school, we took on two more schools in Delhi and now we run a network of 3 exemplar Schools. Today, we support nearly 1500 students in these three schools, which act as a beacon of excellence and constantly guide all our programmes on what a good learning environment looks like.

MCD School Transformation
New Delhi
To support this, we develop resources for students and teachers to strengthen FLN learning in classrooms. These Teaching Learning Materials (TLMs) include toolkits, lesson plans, modules, and more. Our journey began with the creation of a Math toolkit aligned with the national FLN framework, featuring simple, engaging activities designed to boost student learning. By analysing common student errors and visiting schools, we refined the toolkit and built teacher confidence through interactive workshops, one-on-one coaching, and classroom demonstrations. We are also developing and scaling Hindi and English Phonics toolkits to drive comprehensive FLN improvement. To ensure scale and sustainability, we collaborate closely with approximately 160 MCD mentor teachers, equipping them to upskill teachers and improve learning in every classroom. Our focus is on strengthening mentors’ skills in coaching, FLN pedagogy, and data-driven decision-making, creating a lasting impact in classrooms across Delhi.

CM RISE Teacher Professional Development
Madhya Pradesh
We have partnered with the Government of Madhya Pradesh on the CM Rise Teacher Professional Development (TPD) Programme—a state-wide initiative supporting ~2,55,000 government school teachers in enhancing their pedagogical and academic practices. The programme started during the COVID period, leveraging the DIKSHA platform, we developed digital training modules as national assets.
Beyond digital training, we expanded our interventions to include peer learning communities through Shaikshik Samwad, fostering collaborative knowledge exchange; teacher mentoring through classroom observations and structured feedback, enabling continuous professional growth; in-person training to strengthen subject-specific and pedagogical expertise; and teacher reward and recognition initiatives like Hamare Shikshak, Hamare Prernashrot to celebrate and motivate educators. Through this multi-modal approach, we aim to build a robust teacher development ecosystem, ensuring improved teaching practices and better student learning outcomes across Madhya Pradesh.

Digital Literacy
New Delhi
The Digital Literacy Programme was introduced to develop Computational Thinking skills in children from underprivileged communities. Peepul and Amazon Future Engineer (AFE) have collaborated with a mission to set up digital labs and incorporate an accessible computer science-based curriculum.
The Digital Literacy Programme in Delhi aims to bring a systemic change by creating space for a computer science curriculum in MCD schools for grades 3, 4 and 5 in 82 schools and grades 1-5 in three of the Public Private Partnership (PPP) schools. The programme aims to provide early access to digital learning and develop Computational Thinking skills through block-based programming. Peepul has scaled the digital literacy programme to 85 MCD schools by providing in-person training to teachers who can provide a minimum of 1 hour of digital access per week to students in school.

Digital Literacy
Madhya Pradesh
The Digital Literacy Program in Madhya Pradesh, implemented in 274 schools, is transforming the way students and teachers engage with technology. By integrating computational thinking and coding into the curriculum for grades 6 to 8, the program equips students with essential 21st-century skills. A structured curriculum book, combined with teacher training in Scratch and Scratch Jr., ensures effective classroom implementation. To track learning outcomes, Computational Thinking Assessments are conducted. Learning outcome-based examinations like Half-yearly and annual exams have been introduced to establish digital literacy as a core subject. Continuous teacher support, school visits, and monthly virtual conferences further strengthen execution. By combining structured learning, teacher capacity-building, and continuous assessment, the program is making digital literacy an integral part of education in CM Rise Schools.

LIFT-Ed: Assessment Reforms
New Delhi
Development Impact Bond (DIB) is designed to improve student learning outcomes in MCD by focusing on “Assessment-informed Instruction.” Originally launched in two zones (MCD), the programme has now expanded to four zones, extending its impact and reach.
The program’s basic premise is that the embedded government partnerships and capacity-building of stakeholders will lead to data-driven shifts in classroom practices and the strengthening of systems at all levels, thereby improving Student Learning Outcomes in the long term. The programme focuses on building the capacity of:
1. Teachers to use formative assessments to identify student misconceptions and do targeted remediation
2. School Heads (HoS) to offer mentorship, support teachers, and make informed, data-based decisions
3. Officials to drive systemic, data-based decision-making ensuring sustainable improvements
