About Us

Established in 2010, Ahvaan is a pioneer in early childhood education, and foundational learning in India. The organization comprises Ahvaan Trust (AT), a public charitable trust and the Ahvaan Education Foundation (AEF) (hyperlink), a section 8 company, with a unified vision of creating a strong academic and values-based foundation for millions of learners in India.

Ahvaan's work spans curriculum development, professional development for educators, parent engagement and building state capacities- driving access to high quality early education for children from underserved communities. Over the years, Ahvaan has collaborated with state governments and partner organizations in Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Ladakh and Tripura, impacting over 300,000 students aged 3 to 8 years. We have mentored over 14,000 teachers representing 15,700 government primary schools and Anganwadi centers across these states.

Ahvaan has been a trusted partner to state agencies for policy formation and implementation in the areas of Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) and Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN). Our approach to ECCE and FLN aligns with key policies such as National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the National Early Childhood Care and Education Policy 2013, and initiatives such as NIPUN Bharat, focusing on skill-based, developmentally appropriate, and contextually relevant learning.

Led by a committed board of trustees, experienced leadership and a dynamic team of educators, Ahvaan is driven by the mission of empowering teachers, parents, and children towards developing effective knowledge, skills and values that create a foundation for lifelong success for millions of young learners.
