Chanderi has 11 government run schools and 7 Govt. aided Madarsas which still rely on the traditional mode of one way learning process.

The major source of revenue for the Chanderi Weavers’ ICT Resource Center (CWICTRC) would be generated through the sale of its products, which would be displayed in the in house store, which would function as an exclusive outlet. Products for sale will include both apparels (saris, suits, scarves and stoles) and utility items (cushion covers, table covers and curtains).
The ICT resource centre endeavours to impart training in Basic English language skills through the English Relay Program (ERP).
The English Relay Program is devised by IL & FS Education and Technology Services Limited (IETS), an institution promoted by Infrastructure Leasing and Finance Services Limited. IETS is committed to enhancing the quality and delivery of education. Being both comprehensive and interactive, the English Relay Program (ERP) is specially designed to cater to the rural masses.
