Join us for InvokED 4.0
on 7th and 8th March 2025
Together we will inspire dialogue, ideas, and collective action among diverse actors—government, civil society, markets, industry, academia, and media—to achieve education equity in India. Let’s bridge the gaps within the ecosystem, create lasting impact, and build schools where every child can dream, learn, and succeed.
Shikshagraha Awards
In every corner of India, there are unsung heroes who are shaping the future of our children and communities—our education leaders. They are the architects of change, working tirelessly to transform public schools, ignite young minds, and pave the way for a brighter tomorrow.
The Shikshagraha Awards, instituted by The Shibulal Family Philanthropic Initiatives celebrate the leaders who go above and beyond their roles to build an equitable and inclusive education ecosystem.
This is more than recognition; it’s a celebration of courage, vision, and the power of leadership.
Do you know an inspiring education leader who deserves to be recognised? Nominate them today!
