Module A: Science labs and equipment
We check each school's lab space, kits and consumables against the experiments in the classes 6 to 10 curriculum, and whether they are safe, maintained and used. Gaps are fixed in order of need.
Flagship programme · Schools and Science Education
Vigyan in Every School
An independent audit and improvement programme for science labs, digital learning, practical learning and NEP-2020 implementation in government schools of Madhya Pradesh, classes 6 to 10, starting with 20 schools in Bhopal district.
Context
Why this programme
Schools have more science equipment than before. Learning has not kept pace, and nobody checks at classroom level whether the equipment works and is used.
11%
of Grade 9 students in Madhya Pradesh were proficient in science, against 16% nationally.
52.3%
of Madhya Pradesh government schools with secondary sections have an integrated science lab.

The programme
Four modules
Together the modules cover the full chain, from equipment to what students can actually do.
Module B: Digital learning
We check whether ICT labs, smart classrooms, simulations and virtual labs work and are used in teaching. Where internet is weak, we provide offline resources and a chapter-wise guide for teachers.
Module C: Practical homework and assessment
We assess whether students can apply science to real life, then introduce low-cost practical tasks in Hindi and English using everyday materials, with simple ways for teachers to score them.
Module D: NEP-2020, teacher and student skills
Classroom observation, teacher surveys and principal interviews show how far experiential learning is practised. Hands-on teacher workshops, peer learning and student skill camps follow.
Stages
A staged approach
Each stage builds on the evidence from the one before, and each can be supported on its own.
Phase 1: Audit
An independent audit of 20 government schools in Bhopal district across all four modules, with a school-wise report and improvement plan.
Phase 2: Improvement
Targeted improvements in the same 20 schools, based on the audit, followed by an endline audit to measure what changed.
District scale-up
The tested model extended to more government schools across Bhopal district.
Divisional scale-up
The model taken to the other districts of Bhopal division.
Support Vigyan in Every School
We are looking for CSR and government partners for Phase 1. We will share the detailed proposal on request.
