Labhya

The Mission

Happier learners.

How It Works

Labhya introduces mindfulness as a daily, standalone class in Indian public schools. Teachers learn to deliver scripted stories and activities that help kids to be present, cope with challenges, and connect with others. The class is the first one each morning and establishes a tone for all that follows in the school day.

The Dream

Mindfulness classes become a standard feature of education in public schools across India.

Why We're In

Mindfulness training as a structured part of the day in public schools is a wonderfully bold idea. Labhya has a commitment to rigor that makes them just the right organization to do this, and early evidence shows that kids are less anxious, more engaged, and doing better in class—they’re happier. We’re impressed with how they’ve engaged and worked with state governments. By making something unconventional work, Labhya has a chance to change how entire systems think about and deliver more effective education.
