School Education ( FICCI ARISE)

Sector header

ARISE was incubated within the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) in 2016 as a forum bringing together founders of leading schools to engage in structured dialogue on policy, innovation, and institutional development. Within this platform, ARISE facilitated constructive engagement between school leaders and government bodies, helping articulate sector perspectives and enabling collaborative approaches to reform. Over time, ARISE expanded significantly in membership, influence, and scope.


Key Areas of Engagement Includes:
  • Policy Advocacy & Reform

  • Leadership & Capacity Building

  • Community & Collaboration

  • Knowledge & Research

  • Innovation & Future Readiness

Today, ARISE represents a growing network of more than 1,800 schools serving over 1.6 million students across India. Through state chapters and council, the organisation reflects regional diversity while contributing to a shared national vision for education.
