Apeejay Tea Group runs 39 Schools in its Tea Estates spread across Assam. Of these schools, 23 are maintained and governed directly by the Estate, while the other 16 are run by the Government of Assam. In 2010, Apeejay Tea Group initiated a unique community program to review and evaluate the functioning of these Schools by an independent NGO. The objective was to draw up a strategy to ensure better education to children of the garden workers, as well as to those belonging to the adjacent communities who come to study in these schools.

In what could be called a first of its kind, revered NGO Pratham was invited to study the profile of the children and their ecosystem as well as review the functioning of our schools .

Pratham was tasked with suggesting an intervention plan with the ultimate objective of making our schools ´model´ schools. Following their exhaustive study, the NGO submitted a report on recommended intervention strategies, which Apeejay Tea Group has prioritized and started implementing in a phase–wise manner. The effort to turn these schools into ´model´ schools and giving tea workers´ children, who are growing up in our estates, the benefit of a modern, quality–focused education has been a landmark initiative of Apeejay Tea Group.
