The CLR is one of the few institutions in our country which attempts to meet the developmental and educational needs of varied age-groups of children - from infants to elementary school and older students.

We do not conduct set training programmes or " refresher" courses for teachers and trainers. Instead, we first enter into a dialogue with and /or visit the organisation that is requesting assistance, in order to assess its needs. Inputs are carefully planned after mutual discussion, to suit the needs of the specific field-based programme the organisation is implementing. Our training is participatory, addresses itself to actual problems in the field, invites feedback from participants between recurrent sessions, and adapts its focus according to such feedback.

The materials we design are based on the needs of varying educational programmes, and incorporate feedback based on the experience of teachers in the classroom. In designing these materials, as well as the developmental aspects of all our activities, we keep in mind their wider diffusion and application.

The CLR designs and delivers, on request, a range of technical support services in varied cultural contexts to both NGOs and government institutions.
