The Education Innovation Fund for India (EIFI) is a collaborative project between the HP Office of Global Social Innovation and the India Council for Integral Education (ICIE), an initiative of the Sri Aurobindo Society. The purpose of EIFI is to identify and collaborate with significant innovative ideas and projects in education that can be developed and scaled to the next level of operation, with the sponsorship of an EIFI Grant. The grants will be awarded to organisations and students.

Grants for non-profits/ educational institutions/ organizations

An organisation can apply for any one of the following two categories:


1 Crore Grant: This category will include projects that require funding of up to ₹1 crore. This is the largest grant amount being given to one organization by EIFI. Only one organization will be selected for this grant and it will be called the ‘Most Promising Project in Educational Innovation’.

15 Lakhs Grants: Projects that need funding of up to ₹15 lakhs will fall under this category. This grant will be given to 15 organisations.

The applications for both grants can be under one or more of the following sub-categories:

Any other ‘out-of-box’ solutions

Proposal submissions can be for any of the following levels of education: Kindergarten, elementary, middle school, high school, undergraduate, post-graduation, PhD, laboratory schools, adult learning, distance teaching/learning and non-formal education.

The categories for grants for organizations are as follows:

1. Innovation in education

This category includes projects that have demonstrated excellence as pilot, model or research projects and are capable of being scaled up or replicated in mass education efforts. A project at the idea or pilot stage which involves an innovative idea will fall under this category.

 2. Information Technology

This category includes projects that use information technology including hardware, software or integrated solutions. The projects should meet any of the following criteria:

· Solutions that significantly upgrade the quality or lower the cost of an existing product or process in the education system.

 Solutions that make an existing process or products more efficient in terms of time, energy, cost or availability.

Solutions that involve digitalization or other integration of technology into education that will bring a big change into the system.

Solutions that increase delivery and quality of rural education.

Solutions that promote inclusion and support of unique learners i.e. differently enabled students.

Solutions that promote value based learning and character building as a part of the overall learning content in mass environments.
