Associate: Community Relations & Government Liaison

We are a community of young teams with big goals who believe in collective efforts. Our academic vision is to ensure all students achieve academic excellence and age-appropriate social and emotional awareness and regulation. We want to bring change to create an inspiring, community-focused school that will empower all students to become role models in their communities and solve local and global problems.

Anubhuti was founded by an enthusiastic and visionary Gandhi Fellow, CMGGA, Government Consultant, and a Legal expert who aims to strengthen the nation from its core by ensuring quality education for all who are somehow not being incorporated into our mainstream education system. Anubhuti wants every child who is bound to live a nomadic life or under acute economic/social stress to be educated and stand on their own feet. With people like you, we aspire to make India a prosperous and peaceful community.

At Anubhuti, our Operations Team is the backbone of our mission. They are the "Fixers" who ensure the school environment is safe, compliant, and welcoming. An Operations Manager at Anubhuti is a guardian of the institution's integrity, ensuring that while teachers focus on the mind, the administration takes care of the environment and the community.
