Ankurana Learning Café
Where learners take ownership of their learning
“Ankurana” means the process of sprouting, a metaphor for our core philosophy. Just as a seed grows naturally in an enabling environment, we believe a student learns naturally when the right conditions are provided. With this intention, we are working towards creating self-directed learning environments where learners take ownership of their learning and continuously evolve to discover their fullest potential.
Understanding of the context
In academic institutions, students spend nearly 20,000 hours from schooling till graduation following instructions given by others. However, industries expect the same students to make independent decisions, think critically, take ownership, and solve problems on their own. How can students take ownership when they are trained to follow instructions for almost 20 years? To address this gap, we decided to create an environment where students take complete ownership of their learning.
