Academic Collaboration

Sri Aurobindo Foundation for Integral Transformation SAFIT

Academic Collaboration Overview

Sri Aurobindo Foundation for Integral Transformation (SAFIT) actively collaborates with universities, higher education institutions, research centres, and academic bodies to advance Integral Education, consciousness studies, Indian Knowledge Systems, and holistic human development.

Inspired by Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, SAFIT views education as a transformative process—one that nurtures not only intellectual capacity, but also character, consciousness, and purpose. Academic collaboration is approached as a long-term partnership, integrating scholarship, research, pedagogy, and lived application for the benefit of learners, institutions, and society.
