Academic and Text Books
The Strategia Research and Training Institute, is committed to strengthening the foundations of education and research through the publication of high-quality Academic and Text Books. These books are designed to meet the growing demand for curriculum-aligned, interdisciplinary, and context-specific learning materials that bridge theory with real-world practice. Our publications cater to students, educators, scholars, trainers, and lifelong learners across a range of disciplines and levels.
At the Strategia Research and Training Institute, we recognize that education must be both locally relevant and globally informed. Our academic and textbook series aim to support inclusive education, democratize knowledge, and equip institutions with materials that foster critical thinking, innovation, and problem-solving in the Indian and Global South context.
Purpose and Vision
The goal of our Academic and Text Book programme is to contribute meaningfully to the academic and pedagogical landscape of India by:
Developing high-quality, accessible textbooks for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in line with national and university curricula (including NEP 2020).
Providing interdisciplinary resources that reflect contemporary research, regional knowledge systems, and field-based practices.
Filling critical gaps in content availability for underrepresented disciplines, regions, and learner communities.
Encouraging vernacular education through multilingual editions of key textbooks in Indian languages.
Promoting inclusive authorship by publishing contributions from women, early-career academics, tribal and rural scholars, and practitioner-educators.
By publishing textbooks that reflect India’s diversity, the Strategia Research and Training Institute strives to decolonize curricula and create space for indigenous knowledge and new pedagogical models.
