Geetha Narayanan has dedicated her life to finding and establishing new models of educational institutions that are creative, synergistic and original in their approach to learning.

The project aims to create sustainable livelihoods by empowering and teaching the children of India's growing urban poor communities.

For over 25 years she has been Ideating, advocating, conceptualizing and implementing new pedagogical forms (such as studio labs, the interim semester) that enable and support a more integrated and less balkanized form of art and design instruction; one that is acceptable to both students and teachers in the Indian context.
