Programme This programme is part of Azim Premji University's efforts to strengthen and elevate the understanding of societal processes and outcomes. It is designed to promote inquiry into areas of particular interest to the Azim Premji Foundation and to explore possible responses for some of them. The Research Funding Programme is designed to strengthen and supplement existing efforts in these areas. While they are open to any broad consideration within an area, the research should be empirically grounded, and be able to inform practice and policy. Placement More than 2300 graduates have gone on to find work that is meaningful and impactful. About 90% of the students work in the social sector and 80% work in disadvantaged parts of India at the grassroots. Over 300 organisations participate in campus placements. These include large NGOs, small grassroots organisations, research institutions, policy bodies, CSR groups, government and quasi-government institutions and schools. Alumni Eight cohorts of about 2300 students from the master's programmes have graduated and almost 100% of them have received job offers on campus or outside from a range of organizations. Including the graduates of 2021, the total strength of alumni is 2700''' of which 87% are from PG and 13% from UG programmes. Translations Among the largest of such initiatives in the country, the Translations Initiative, Anuvada Sampada, facilitates the reach of high-quality learning material in higher education to graduate and PG students in Indian languages (currently, Hindi and Kannada). The initiative has a network of 450 translators in 20 leading academic institutions. The belief that led to this initiative is that the availability of quality resources in Indian languages will support students to engage more deeply and thoroughly with concepts and ideas in higher education. Schoolbooks Archive The Schoolbooks Archive, launched November 2021, is a free, open-access, digital collection of 5,724 items, schoolbooks and related documents, dating as far back as 1819, from various regions of South Asia. The archive covers books in all languages and all school subjects that have been written and/or published in the Indian Subcontinent – India and neighbouring South Asian countries. As part of this initiative, a physical exhibition is being held in different parts of the country.
