Joy
Chairman
Biography
Mr. K. Joy is the Founder and Managing Trustee of Common Grounds Foundation, which has managed CGIA since 2014. He has been working for the social development sector for the past 30 years as a social worker, trainer and management consultant. He was attracted to the social development sector during the mass campaign for non-formal Education in the 1980’s. His rich experience in Organizational Change Management and Training helps him to perform the roles as Chief functionary of the Foundation and as the Chairman of the school. He believes that “the purpose of education is to help individuals develop their full potential to live out a purposeful life that also nourishes the life of their fellow beings and nature.”
Experiences with CGIA
“It has been amazing to be part of CGIA to see its budding and blooming as a child centric educational system that respects and care for children with dignity where specially trained teachers set creative learning space to generate and sustain curiosity among them. Children really enjoy learning severally and collectively through exploration. It is really worth developing and sustaining it for our future Generation.”
