School Transformation: SchoolRise


Building Future-Ready Schools for Every Child

SchoolRise is UDGI Foundation’s flagship School Transformation Initiative dedicated to creating inclusive, technology-enabled, child-friendly, and sustainable schools across rural and underserved communities. We believe that every child deserves access to a safe learning environment, quality education, modern infrastructure, and opportunities to explore their full potential.

India is home to more than 24 crore school-going children studying in over 14 lakh schools. While access to education has improved significantly, many schools continue to face challenges related to learning outcomes, digital infrastructure, science education, sanitation, and modern learning facilities. SchoolRise addresses these challenges through a comprehensive school transformation model that integrates infrastructure, technology, innovation, sustainability, and community participation.

Our goal is not merely to improve schools but to transform them into centers of excellence that nurture curiosity, creativity, leadership, innovation, and lifelong learning.

Why SchoolRise?

Many government and rural schools continue to struggle with:

  1. Learning gaps in foundational literacy and numeracy
  2. Inadequate classroom infrastructure
  3. Limited access to digital technology
  4. Lack of science and computer laboratories
  5. Poor sanitation and hygiene facilities
  6. Insufficient sports and playground infrastructure
  7. Limited exposure to STEM and innovation
  8. Energy and water sustainability challenges

SchoolRise provides a holistic solution by transforming schools into future-ready learning ecosystems that support academic excellence, digital inclusion, environmental sustainability, and holistic child development.
