NALANDA is a journey, which started way back in 1996 with the sole objective of providing quality education to every child who had not yet entered that glorious gateway. The idea of Nalanda was conceived by a number of top notch social thinkers, management professionals and education experts, who felt that a separate institution needs to be set up to cater to the aspect of quality in primary education. Accordingly, Nalanda was set upunder society registration act 1860 with the goal of providing universal quality primary education, especially for children from the underprivileged sections of society. Since then Nalanda has been working both as an implementing agency and a Resource Centre for Educational Innovation in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand, where it intervenes intensively and other states of India, on demand. Nalanda is also registered under FCRA & 80G.
