Centre for Imagination

A catalyst for change

I served as the Founding Director of the Centre for Imagination from the time it opened in the fall of 2016 through June of 2020. The project was in development from 2014. I am immensely proud of what has been established and believe passionately in the structure of the Centre, in the approach to learning, and in the possibility of such an initiative to bring about a widespread shift in the current paradigm of education. My full MA Thesis laying out the foundations for this project is available here, as is the current website.

The Centre for Imagination building, co-designed by me, the student leaders, and Malvika Ahuja Architects, is now the recipient of an India Best Design Award.

Action Plan

The growth of the Centre for Imagination has been guided by this action plan. This plan is just one of many developed for various initiatives around the school.

Tools for Learning and Teaching
