WHAT IS DLRC?
​Founded in 2015, DriveChange Learning and Resource Centre (DLRC) is an NEP-compliant, immersive and experiential learning centre with students from Senior KG to Grade 12.
Driving change through our ‘Head, Heart and Hands’ approach to pedagogy and curriculum.
​
Learning that is immersive, experiential and transformative.
Resource hub featuring a shared library, labs and vibrant campus.
​
Centre for students, educators, parents and the local community to thrive together.​
We have developed a unique experiential curriculum for Senior KG to Grade 8, fostering hands-on, inquiry-based learning. Our high school program follows the internationally recognized Cambridge curriculum (IGCSE/A Levels). Across all grades, we remain deeply rooted in local culture and real-world learning through nature treks, an enrichment club, a state-of-the-art design lab, and three well-stocked libraries. Over the years, eight cohorts of students have successfully graduated from DLRC.
THE DLRC STORY
​
Our founders, Meenakshi, Ajay, and Pavan, started DLRC in 2015 in a rented bungalow with just two students in Grade 9, driven by their evolving vision of education and the needs of independent learners.
​
Within two years, DLRC had grown to 55 students, prompting a move to a larger, nature-integrated space. The founders found a farm in Sus-Baner, where students played a key role in shaping the campus—moving earth, building unique wooden structures, and creating classrooms.
​
What began as a high school program soon expanded across all grades. Our dream is simple: “Every neighborhood deserves a DLRC.”​

TESTIMONIALS
On our drive back home today my son shared how he really enjoyed the Thematic and English lessons today. He is not one to voluntarily share such things. On the contrary, he usually shares little even when asked. So this was quite special.
He said he really enjoyed the Thematic class because they had a discussion about Gravity and Friction today. He said the topics were really interesting to him, and that he particularly liked it when they had such discussions in class.
In English he said they learnt two words - endangered and extinct. He liked interacting with his learning partner and recalling the meaning of these words.
Thank you so much to you all for keeping the spark of learning going in the little ones. We're grateful to be part of this journey with you all.
Regards,
Avinash (Parents)
