CLT India addresses some of the challenges^[5] in the rural school education system of India like shortage of teachers with subject expertise, student disengagement and lack of quality learning resources.

e-Patashale is a low-cost digital content repository based on the national curriculum (NCERT) adopted by state board schools in India, facilitating improved learning outcomes for government-run school beneficiaries.

CLT Resource Centre acts as a hub where pedagogy experts gather and develop educational content.

It is now an extensive library of teaching resources for Mathematics, Science and English Grammar courseware for grades 5 to 10. It features interactive multimedia content like videos, slides and PDFs. In addition to notes, it also offers assessments based on the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE). It is currently available in English, Hindi and Kannada. e-Patashale follows the national curriculum closely and is approved and recommended by the State Departments of Education. It is currently available on Windows and Android devices, including PCs, tablets and mobile smartphones. It can be accessed in both non-connectivity environment and online environment as courseware videos and ebooks.^[6]

The organization began its digital education program in 2006 when it started creating educational content for government schools. Prior to this, it was involved in providing mid-day meals to various government schools in Bangalore and had also started a food-bank programme. However, these programs were later scrapped after the Karnataka State Government implemented the midday meal scheme in Jakkur.^[7]

In addition to during-school intervention programmes, CLT India also provides after-school intervention. CLT India was selected to host the second Intel Computer Clubhouse in 2002.^[8] It is an after-school center for 750 children, ages 9–19, from Jakkur village in Bangalore. Under the guidance of adult mentors, children develop technology skills and create digital projects. Every two years, three children from the clubhouse go to Boston to take part in the Teen Summit, a week-long international youth leadership programme. CLT India is also part of the Adobe Youth Voices program since 2008.^{[citation needed]}

With the help of its digital education content repository e-Patashale, the organization has catered to the growing needs of rural education in India. The organization helped set up a total of 300 E-learning classrooms between 2007 and 2010.

CLT also partnered with Cisco for live distance-teaching in 2011.^[9] CLT provided the education content which was delivered remotely using the Cisco® Education Enabled Development (CEED) platform. The program was implemented in 42 classrooms over the period of 2011 to 2014.^[10]
