Our Story

In 2015, Ajay and Mona decided to embark on the road less traveled. On a quest to fulfill the educational needs of their daughter, they started DriveChange Learning Resource Centre (DLRC) in a small bungalow along with co-founder Pavan Iyengar. By the second year, they had 50 students. The DLRC family thus became a community.

Inspired by life in Bali and their varied experiences in the field of education, the founders of DLRC set out to establish a Centre where learning is meaningful and continuous. The verdant campus is at the heart of this effort.

Children at DLRC grow up understanding that they’re a part of nature. They know to love and respect her force. From the vermicomposting pits to the eco-friendly toilets, structures built from repurposed wood, and rainwater harvesting, the philosophy of the Centre is evident whichever way you turn – learning with Head, Heart and Hands.

The rigorous, immersive and holistic environment ensures that our students secure excellent board results and admission in acclaimed institutions, including international universities. Our facilitators come from diverse professional backgrounds, and this helps our students develop their skills and gain perspectives on life application.

Currently, we have around 300 students on campus. To know more about our curriculum and pedagogy, click here.

In a decade-long journey, it has been our vision that DLRC becomes a Learning Resource Centre in every sense. We hope to open our doors and welcome the local community into our campus. We would like artists, artisans and other skilled resource persons to utilise our space to run workshops. Our libraries, sports grounds, hands-on activity and design lab, and science lab should become a shared space for everyone to play, read, learn and grow together.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I–

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Join us to drive change and make a difference together.
