Lodha - Making India Stronger Through Education Initiatives

By LODHA

As India continues to become one of the world's most robust economies, it is a good time to equip the country's future generations with all the right tools. With continual growth in a variety of social and economic sectors, our education system also needs a boost in order to keep up with rising global academic and professional standards. 

As a responsible corporation, we at Lodha are dedicated to protecting both the present and future generations of our nation by making investments in our community's access to high-quality education and by giving the best minds the tools they need to realise their full potential. In this way, we actively support the development of our country.

As an institution, our work in the field of education is centred on providing the community in our micro markets with a high-quality education through our portfolio of 6 schools operated under the Lodha World School and Lodha Oakwood school brands, as well as connecting with the larger national community through our academic fellowship programme, "India Brain Gain." Through our many community outreach projects, which are in line with our mission of  'Do Good, Do Well', we also engage with the underserved community and government schools through our various community outreach initiatives.

Supporting Indian Education With A Multi-Pronged Approach

To allow the Indian education sector to grow, we understand that it is not just about motivating and teaching youth. It is as much about giving students from different walks of life a chance to achieve their potential. This is where the Lodha Scholarship Endowment Fund comes in, offering financial aid to children whose families suffered setbacks during the pandemic.

Not only are we committed to enriching young minds through our schools and scholarships, but we also want to supplement their growth through teacher training and education. The Lodha Institute of Teacher Education (LITE) is a key pillar of our educational endeavours. Focused on nurturing young educators, LITE offers a diploma certification program focusing on Early Childhood Education and Development. The institute also offers other short-term skill development programs for in-service teachers.
