About Peepul

6.5 million students. 291,000 teachers. 90,000+ schools. That’s the scale of what Peepul is changing — and this role sits at the centre of it. Peepul is an education non-profit working with state governments in Delhi and Madhya Pradesh to drive systemic reform at scale. We’ve received international recognition — including the Commonwealth Education Award for Innovation — and are backed by India’s leading CSR funders and global partners.

Our model is simple: embed, deliver, measure anchored in system-level change, in partnership with governments. We are a growing organisation with an ambitious strategy and a strong evidence base. Join us in our mission to create a world where every child has equal access to high-quality education. Learn more about our transformative work at http://peepulindia.org

Programme Overview

We run three exemplar schools through a public-private partnership with the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). Our high-engagement classroom model is tested and designed to be scaled and replicated across geographies. These schools are our R&D; labs and evidence for ‘how a government school could look.'

Our journey began when we turned around an under-resourced government school in Delhi by forging a Public Private Partnership (PPP) with South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) in 2017. Eventually, we saw a dramatic improvement in the enrolment of students in just a year. When enrolment numbers increased, we even had a waiting list at the school, a rare occurrence for a government-run school.

Following the success of the school,



we took on two more schools in Delhi and now run a network of 3 Exemplar Schools. Today, we support nearly 1500+ students in these three schools, which act as a beacon of excellence and constantly guide all our programs on what a valuable learning environment looks like.
