The National Independent Schools Alliance (NISA) is a platform that brings together Budget Private Schools (BPS) from across the country to give them a unified voice to address their concerns about regulatory challenges and to facilitate their quality improvement. As of today, NISA represents 20 states, 41 state associations, 55000 schools, 22 million children.

NISA is striving for a systemic change with its focus on building a strong platform for creating awareness around BPS. It aspires to achieve policy change and improve school quality by:

1. Advocating the immediate concerns of low-fee and budget private schools via media and other channels to build evidences for their relevance.

2. Creating an ecosystem for School Quality Improvement by partnering with different organizations working in the education space.
