About Us
Pehlay Akshar Foundation was started in 2008 with the core belief that every student has the right to an excellent education and gain the skills needed to be future-ready.
We work with the philosophy of “empowering every child with English Literacy and developing a Learning Mindset to make job ready.”
90% of the content on the internet is in English. Knowing English makes it easier to acquire 21st Century skills and opens doors to better career opportunities.
To address this need, we enable students and teachers across India with ‘Functional English’. We partner with the State Governments to implement our well researched programs and change the way students learn, and teachers teach in schools.
