About Us
Centre Of Resource Development Of Educators is the initiative of educators, Dr Suresh Nair and Mrs Deepa Desai. The initiation of NEP 2020 has brought in new dimensions in the field of education, which most of us, as principals, teachers, students or the parents are equipped to adapt to. However, a little support, a small push can do wonders. An experienced helping hand is what is needed to achieve the desirable goals. It is this thought, that led to the inception of ‘CRDE’, to help the teacher community to grow, explore their talents which in turn will be beneficial for the students thus raising the bar of education as well as educational institutions. CRDE believes that teachers as facilitators are the most effective medium towards progress and development.
As a ‘Gift’ and ‘Friends for life’, Centre of Resource Development For Educators (CRDE Trust) was formed on 5th of October 2021.
CRDE membership is open to school teachers, principals and independent educators, ultimately, beneficial to the students.
