Personalizing Education For Better Learning

She feels that class room learning alone cannot cater to the individual pedagogical needs of students and this leads to lacunae in learning. "We are slowly shifting the culture from sit and learn to experience and learn", says Rajashree. Combining the best of both worlds, she founded Catalyze Center for Learning with a goal is to touch and impact the lives of thousands of children who are gifted in talent but are just in need of the right opportunities and the right mentors.
