Rahul Pandey, an entrepreneur and academic , teamed up with his like-minded friends, Pushpa and Adithya, who were already in social work, to found CLE Trust in 2019. A few months later they were joined by Imtiaz and Leela, and the five became the core team of CLE.
“We started CLE with a dream that every child has a right to good quality education. Children from underprivileged backgrounds should not be deprived of this right just because they are born in a family with weak socioeconomic status in an unequal society.”
CLE Trust:
Was founded to transform learning for marginalized communities across India.
Focuses on foundational literacy & numeracy, life skills, and teacher capacity-building.
Operates across 7 states in 16 locations.
