Unnati is our flagship teacher professional development program — built for the heart of the classroom: the teacher. It’s designed especially for in-service teachers working in low-income, affordable private schools, where the need for strong, confident educators is greatest.
Over two years and four carefully designed semesters, Unnati supports teachers in developing practical, meaningful skills. From classroom practices and lesson planning to subject knowledge, teaching methods, and mindset shifts — it’s a journey that equips teachers not just to teach, but to bring joy in learning . Unnati helps teachers bring classrooms to life — making learning joyful, engaging, and relevant for every child. It’s not just about improving pedagogy, its also about improving Student Learning Outcomes (SLO).
It’s about restoring DIGNITY, purpose, confidence, agency and creativity in the teaching profession. Every teacher supported is a ripple of change — building stronger classrooms, better learning outcomes, and a deeper love of learning for every child.
The Unnati Program aims to strengthen FLN Skills of children by empowering teachers with modern, child-centred pedagogy and practical classroom skills

Teacher Learning Circle (TLC)
Even though more than 45% of school going children are enrolling in affordable private schools, many continue to struggle with basic foundational reading, writing, and numeracy in their early years. Learning often becomes mechanical, with classrooms relying on rote and traditional methods that leave little room for curiosity or interactions/meaning- making. Children are expected to memorise rather than explore, question, or enjoy the learning process. At the same time, teachers work under challenging conditions, with limited access to in-service training and practical resources. Many lack the professional guidance and support needed to grow in their roles. These gaps affect not only learning outcomes, but also the confidence and joy of both teachers and children in the classroom.
Early gaps in literacy and numeracy widen over time, affecting performance in higher grades.
When teaching focuses on memorisation, children often miss the “why” behind concepts, weakening their ability to think, reason, and problem-solve.
