The Centre for Learning Resources

The expansion of reduction in urban and rural areas in India has not been matched by a similar concern for the quality for instruction and learning.  This is one of the major reasons for the high rates of dropout in our schools, and of functional illiteracy in our nation.

The main objective of the Centre for Learning Resources (CLR) is to introduce educational innovation and change at the basic classroom level and thus improve the quality of education in our urban and rural schools and non-formal programmes.

The CLR acts as a support organisation to voluntary agencies working at the grassroots level, and to government and private schools.  It works primarily with teachers and other related personnel concerned with socially and economically disadvantaged children at the pre-primary and elementary stages of education, including non-formal education

The CLR’s main activities include :

1. In service training of teachers, teacher-trainers and supervisory personnel.

2. Development of low-cost teaching learning materials in various curricular areas, including audiovisual materials for environmental education and language development.

The CLR has assisted municipal corporation schools, government tribal ashram schools, government tribal ashram schools and single-teacher rural schools, voluntary organisations running schools and NFE centres for rural, tribal and working/pavement children.
