Avanti Fellows

About Avanti Fellows

Avanti was established in 2010 to help improve college access for disadvantaged students. Our programs focus on improving math and science learning in government school systems across India. Avanti has long-standing MoUs with the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (JNV) and the Government of Haryana through which we work with over 48,000 students. Our work is supported by India's most reputed foundations and CSR initiatives including Tata Trusts, Tata Motors, MSDF, Volkswagen, and Infosys Foundation. Avanti Fellows is a Pan-IIT Alumni India initiative, winner of the Stanford BASES Social E-Challenge 2010, and recipient of the Echoing Green and DRK Fellowships 2012. We are currently running classroom programs in 17 JNV, 219 Government schools in Haryana, and 19 Government schools in Jharkhand. These programs through a peer-learning pedagogy help students to understand maths and science and further prepare them for engineering and medical competitive exams (IIT-JEE/NEET).
