About us

Deenabandhu TRC actively works with government schools providing them with high-quality teaching resources and trains the teachers to incorporate activity-based teaching methodologies in their classrooms. Over the past 15 years, the TRC is very well received by teachers and children. We have seen a cultural shift in the mindset of the government school teachers in adopting newer ways to teach and include experiential methodologies in the classroom. The education department in the state also recognises Deenabandhu’s efforts and has partnered with us in conducting various teacher workshops.

• Our mission

  The objective of Deenabandhu TRC is to facilitate the government schools to move from “rote learning” to “experiential learning”. It envisions schools where experiential and activity-based education becomes the desired culture of teaching and learning than mere rote learning. The organisation’s theory of change focuses on working long-term with teachers, providing them sustained support through teaching-learning materials and other resources, and designing engaging learning experiences for children. Working closely in the long-term will pave the way for habit formation, and habit sustained for a long time will lead to the engraving of culture. The culture is not individual dependent but involves a critical minimum number of individuals in a given area of operation. Hence, it is desirable that a large section of the teaching fraternity of a certain geographical area are involved to ensure that a desired model of teaching becomes the desired culture of teaching and learning. This change becomes an epicentre from where the ripples of desirable culture permeates to neighbouring areas.
