About Us
Established in 2012, Central Square Foundation (CSF) is a non-profit working to enhance learning outcomes for all school-going children in India through system-level reforms. As a catalytic enabler, our work spans innovation and policy to practice, driving learning impact at scale across 14 states. We have collaborated with 11 state governments to design and execute statewide Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) missions. Additionally, we focus on integrating EdTech for in-class and at-home learning, building evidence-based practices and exploring artificial intelligence (Al) to improve learning outcomes. We are deeply committed to strengthening Early Childhood Education (ECE) as the step zero of FLN and work to enhance School Governance in both government and private schools to improve india's education system.
