Our Students
Avasara students come from a wide range of socioeconomic, religious, and caste backgrounds. This diversity is an integral part of Avasara's leadership development model in which students develop a deep sense of empathy for one another, forming close bonds of trust and interdependency no matter their differences. This will serve as the foundation for compassionate leadership in the future.

Our Campus
Located on 4.5 acres in the Lavale Valley, approximately 10km from Pune, Avasara Academy's main campus provides a safe and serene setting for reflective learning, both indoors and outdoors. This year, while the main campus is under construction, Avasara Academy is operating out of an Annex facility adjacent to the main campus, which consists of three classrooms, a lunch pavilion, and a recreational area.
2016 Construction
Construction is well underway on Avasara Academy's main campus. The foundations, plinth, ground floor slab and columns are complete and on schedule for the first of six buildings on campus - the TCS GAINS (Girls Advancing in STEM) Building - and work is being done in preparation for casting the first floor slab. The large concrete pipes (see bottom right photo) are the earth ducts that will bring in a consistent supply of fresh, cool air and are an important part of the passive cooling system.
