TEJAS - Technology Enabled Education through Joint Action and Strategic initiatives.

The TEJAS project is a joint initiative delivered through a partnership between the Government of Maharashtra, Tata Trusts and the British Council. It aims to improve the quality of English language learning in primary schools. Under this initiative, teachers form face-to-face and digital communities of practice in their local areas through Teacher Activity Groups (TAGs).
