Principal Leadership Development Program (PLDP) & Gandhi Fellowship: 
A Symbiosis

Fellows facilitate the process of school change by working closely with the Principals engaged in the Principal Leadership Development Program (PLDP). They provide on-ground training and coach them in various aspects of pedagogy, institutional leadership and administrative efficiency. The training combines in-class instruction with live projects, which help establish a connection between theory and practice on the ground. It helps Principals tackle day-to-day problems in government schools and turn around failing schools. PLDP hopes to transform administrators into leaders. The program adopts a holistic approach to sustain change through key stakeholders i.e., the Principals, Teachers, community members, government bodies, experts, multidisciplinary team members in order to impact the quality of learning provided to children.

Note:

In the government schools of India, the word Principal is not used. Instead, the word Head Teacher is used. In other locations, Head Master word is used as well. However, Principal is used here since it is a globally understood word.

District Transformation Program (DTP) & Gandhi Fellowship:

Gandhi Fellowship aims to transform the Districts Education System by building capacities of education leaders, deploying technology and providing on-site support to schools. Learning reform requires interventions at multiple levels; District Transformation Program leverages abilities of school heads, teachers, education officials, technology and processes.
