• Installed CWM recovery

Method 1:

• Download SuperSU zip from here
• Enter recovery
• Go to Install zip --> adb sideload
• Connect the phone to PC
• Execute the following
  

  adb sideload

This will root your phone. There are more methods to root these devices, new methods will be added once I get my hands on my phone

Thanks to @droidextra for testing root and recovery for Canvas A1. You will be seeing a video walk through of all this from him soon
