District Project Management Units

Location: Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh

Our Vision

To improve student learning outcomes by demonstrating how district-level programmes, supported by moderate resourcing and strategic external support can be both impactful and scalable.

Through our District Project Management Units (DPMUs), CSF envisions to create a replicable model for effective FLN implementation — anchored by our onground teams working closely with district administration to drive sustained educational reform.

Our Work

In India’s governance structures, districts play a critical role in driving last mile reform implementation in our classrooms. Focussing on districts as the unit of change, CSF’s DPMUs have emerged as a key catalyst in driving district-level implementation of the FLN mission by working with education officials, mentors and teachers to drive implementation fidelity.

Through this model, we aim to drive improvement in student learning outcomes at both district and state levels.
