About Avanti Fellows
Avanti Fellows is among India’s largest and most impactful nonprofits. Established in 2010, Avanti has been awarded the Echoing Green Fellowship, Draper Richards Kaplan Fellowship and Ashoka Fellowship. Avanti’s mission is to create equity and excellence in STEM education in government schools by effectively integrating innovations in product, pedagogy, technology and teacher education into the classroom.
They work with over 50,000 students across two school systems, the Haryana Government Schools and the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti. In both school systems, Avanti is working towards enabling government school teachers to implement high-impact, technology-led blended learning classrooms from Grade 9 - 12.
Over the past 9 years, Avanti has validated the effectiveness of its approach (Peer Instruction), through multiple research studies including a MacArthur Foundation funded RCT in the Chennai Corporation schools that showed learning gains that showed a greater than 0.6 SD improvement in Mathematics achievement over a single year. Our programs in Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas have consistently produced a >50% selection rate on the IIT Joint Entrance Examination - the highest in India.
About Project Sankalp
Over the past 2 years, Avanti has been running a large system change project in Haryana. The project covers 219 intervention schools, where teachers are being provided with technology and content to teach Mathematics and Science in Grade 9-12. In addition to the product, Avanti monitors progress in every single school closely, through a team of program managers and through the assistance of government officials. The project is being evaluated by JPAL (Founded by Abhijit Banerjee, winner of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Economics) and is currently funded by the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation and USAID.
