It is now actively involved in post-graduate education, including Information Technology, Pharmacy ,Education & Management education through the “Sterling Institute of Technology & Management”, “Sterling Institute of Pharmacy”, “Sterling Institute of Management Studies & “Sterling College of Education”.

NCRD started its activity in education in 1993 with the establishment of a school in Ambegaon taluka, Pune district which was a very backward area. In the absence of industry, development was minimal and schools were few and far.

One of NCRD's school, for example, is operating in a then remote area of this taluka from where it was earlier a major task for the children to attend the school which was only across the river but a great distance away by road.

NCRD set up an agricultural school offering courses in agriculture and dairy Industry to help the rural youth to manage their home-steads better. A large population of this taluka has migrated to the wholesale agricultural produce market at Vashi. NCRD set up a Marathi school at Nerul,  Navi Mumbai. This was followed by an English medium school and the Sterling Junior & Senior Colleges. to cater to the needs of growing future youngsters.
