Research focus: Teacher-driven educational innovation in the public system 

‘Educational Innovations Bank’: Decentralized Professional Development and Quality Enhancement in Public Schooling (ending in March 2023) was a project that developed a clearing house (‘EI Bank’) for the “innovations that improve” of teachers working in government elementary schools. The question the project asked was, “How do some teachers achieve their educational goals in spite of facing the same constraints as thousands of other teachers?” The EI Bank was used to develop a teacher innovation-based online professional development program for teachers in the public system. Programs have been held in collaboration with the Government of Gujarat for head-teachers, teachers of science, math, language and social studies, case-based learning methods. This experience is described in a book published in October 2022. (Chand, V.S., Kuril, S. & Deshmukh, K. (2022). Teacher Development in India: Building on Grassroots Innovations and Technology.
