Samvit Research Foundation is a research organization committed to creating meaningful and joyful learning experiences rooted in Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS). As an AICTE-recognized research center, we develop age-appropriate curriculum, high-quality textbooks, teaching-learning materials, and teacher resources that bring IKS into everyday learning in a structured and engaging way.

Our approach to education emphasizes holistic development through values, wellness, experiential learning, and culturally grounded pedagogy. We create comprehensive textbooks, digital resources, teacher handbooks, and orientation programs designed to strengthen classroom practice and enhance learning outcomes.

Our work extends beyond content creation as we support schools with teacher training, orientation programs, and ambience design, ensuring that IKS is integrated into everyday learning in a practical, impactful, and learner-centric manner.

THE

Beginning.

It all started in 2016, when a core team of educationists from eminent institutions and a few enthusiastic individual scholars came together to work on proposals for the National Education Policy. Recommendations in the areas of value education, language policy, humanities and teacher education were given to the NEP Committee. While working on the policy proposals, it was felt that wisdom from various institutions could be integrated to create simple, scalable modules which could be beneficial to large number of schools.

An open education research platform was envisioned to design simple scalable modules, based on successful experiments, and implement these in large number of schools. Many a time, good ideas remain with few people; we at Samvit wanted to share these at mass level and scientifically measure the impact of the changes introduced. Study reports were proposed to be shared with National Education Policy makers to take these large-scale experiments to the next level, nationally.
