KFI operates six schools in India dedicated to imparting education rooted in Krishnamurti's teachings. For Krishnamurti, these schools served as spaces where profound existential questions could be explored within an environment of liberty and accountability. Over time, these schools have evolved into education centers that actively engage with their surrounding communities and promote environmentally responsible practices.

The Krishnamurti Foundation India conducts retreats throughout the year. The weekend retreat, held on the last weekend of each month, is a two-day program that includes formal dialogues on a chosen theme, casual discussions, video screenings of Krishnamurti's talks and discussions, and dedicated periods for personal study, reflection, and contemplation. Guests are also encouraged to extend their stay before or after the retreat, based on their preferences.
The half-day retreat convenes every second Sunday of the month, commencing at 9:30 AM with a Krishnamurti talk/discussion screening. This is succeeded by a dialogue session and concludes with a shared lunch. Curated retreats are intended for groups and organizations that have a need to explore certain aspects of their conditioning based on their particular area of interest. Immersion retreat is designed for individuals eager to embark on a deep introspective journey guided by Krishnamurti's teachings.
