Ashrafia Group of Institutions

What Ashrafia Group of Institutions does

Ashrafia Group of Institutions is a non-profit, ISO 9001:2008 certified educational organization headquartered in Durg, Chhattisgarh, India, operating since 1986. It runs a portfolio of schools and training centers spanning kindergarten (Ashrafia IT Kidz), K-12 (Ashrafia Public School), residential Islamic education (AIIER with Hifz and Darse Nizami pathways), and post-graduate programs (AGI), supplemented by vocational brands (Skillversity, Aisha Academy, Aice Infotech) and social-initiative foundations (USMI for women empowerment, Neki for community upliftment, MAC for child welfare). The core offering is a dual-track model that integrates CBSE/NEP-aligned English-medium schooling — including STEM, robotics, and IT skills — with traditional Islamic studies, serving Muslim-minority families in Central India; 8,000+ students and 4,000+ beneficiaries have been reached to date.

The technology stack is modest: a 100% online ERP (delivered via third-party MyClassBoard) for academic and administrative management, supported by digital classrooms, computer and science labs, multimedia seminar halls, and CCTV-monitored hostels. There is no proprietary AI/ML capability; AI is taught as a curriculum subject rather than built into products or operations.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring K-12 tuition and fees, supplemented by one-time vocational training fees (beauty/wellness/fashion design, IT), Islamic education program fees, and community/scholarly contributions. The organization offsets revenue with 40 free merit scholarship seats annually. Distribution is entirely domestic via on-campus enrollment in Durg, supported by phone-based admissions, an online inquiry channel, and a student/parent self-serve portal. Go-to-market is community-led, relying on word-of-mouth within the Muslim minority community of Chhattisgarh and a multi-channel social media presence. Strategic affiliations include the Ministry of Minority Affairs, NCPUL, CGBSE, Chhattisgarh Madarsa Board, and the edtech partner Next Education.
