Learn. Lead. Build.
Building India's next generation of leaders, entrepreneurs and changemakers — a permanent, campus-embedded leadership institution where every month has a theme, every session has a deliverable, and every student has a story to tell at graduation.
CLE gives ambitious students real access, real mentors, and real stakes — a head start their peers will spend years catching up to.
CLE students walk into Secretariats, sit across from Ministers, and question IAS officers directly — turning textbook civics into lived experience.
A joint certification from JECRC University and Chhatra Sansad India, powered by a national youth movement that has already reached 15 lakh+ students.
Every month brings a new theme, a new deliverable, and a new milestone — a complete 12-month journey of continuous progress.
Former Government Secretaries, Decorated Military Generals, UN Ambassadors, IIM & MICA faculty, Ashoka Fellows — learning directly from people who've built what they teach.
Live Action Projects, national networking, and the Jaipur Leadership Odyssey give students tangible proof of leadership, ready for any application or interview
Designed for the 14–20 age group — the exact years when character, confidence and direction take shape.
Trusted by educators, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders across India.

"What sets CLE apart is its rigor — this isn't another leadership workshop, it's a genuine 12-month curriculum with real depth. Partnering institutions get a programme that's ready to integrate, credible, and built by people who understand both education and enterprise. We've seen firsthand the seriousness of thought that's gone into this."

"Over the last decade, I've watched thousands of young people struggle to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real leadership. The Centre for Leadership & Enterprise is exactly the kind of structured, experiential model India's youth need — a 12-month journey that doesn't just teach leadership, it builds it. This is the natural next step for anyone serious about nation-building through education."
The Centre for Leadership & Enterprise (CLE) is India's most immersive campus-based leadership institution — jointly built by JECRC University and Chhatra Sansad India to transform ambitious students into entrepreneurially-minded, civically engaged and communication-ready leaders.
"Leadership is not taught in classrooms alone. It is discovered through experiences, challenges, collaboration, and action."
Established under the JECRC University Act, 2012 and recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC), JECRC University is one of Rajasthan's leading institutions of higher education.
Founded under the Zero Hour Foundation, Chhatra Sansad India is one of India's most powerful youth leadership movements — connecting students directly with policymakers, civil servants, entrepreneurs and national leaders through conclaves, governance dialogues and experiential leadership platforms.
Every month brings a new theme with its own deliverable, mentors and live action projects.
Self-awareness, decision-making and the inner discipline that precedes public leadership.
From idea to venture — building, pitching and validating real solutions.
Understanding how India is governed, from the Secretariat to Parliament.
Finding a voice — public speaking, media literacy and narrative craft.
The commercial and financial fluency every changemaker needs.
A selection-based programme for high-potential students who are not just dreaming of the world's best universities — they're actively working toward them.
Real access. Real institutions. From Parliament to foreign missions, CLE cohorts step beyond the classroom into the rooms where India is actually governed.
Our faculty brings together Former Government Secretaries, Decorated Military Generals, UN Ambassadors, IIM & MICA Professors, Ashoka Fellows, World Economic Forum Global Shapers, National Award Winners and Startup Ecosystem Architects — each selected not for their title, but for their ability to teach, transfer and transform.
This programme is exclusively designed for ambitious, high-potential students aged 14–20 who are not just dreaming of the world's best universities — they are actively working toward them.
This is not a field trip. It is the defining experience of the entire 12-month programme — an exclusive, immersive residential leadership summit in Jaipur, the political and cultural heartland of Rajasthan.
CLE participants get unprecedented, direct access to India's most influential institutions and leaders. Engage with active ministers, senior bureaucrats, and policy architects who shape the nation. This is governance and leadership not from textbooks, but from the source.
The Jaipur Leadership Odyssey is where theory becomes lived experience and ambition becomes action.
