ABOUT US

"A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops."

We’re on a mission to improve children’s education.We transform education systems by supporting teachers to become more effective. We know from our years of experience that the most powerful investment you can make is to empower teachers to love their jobs and improve as professionals.

And we can prove it. Since 2014, we have reached more than 6.29 lakh teachers, over 8,900 government officials and 1.28 crore children across three states (Delhi, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu). Our evidence shows that children are more engaged in schools and have improved literacy and numeracy skills, with the weakest students gaining the most. 

We don’t just stop at empowering teachers. CIM’s unique model works with the whole educational ecosystem: headteachers, district officials and government to create holistic changes. We use intrinsic motivation to create systemic change that benefits everyone, especially India’s children.

Our Approach
