विद्यालय और विज्ञान शिक्षा

What we do

  • Independent audits of science laboratories, equipment and digital learning in government schools, checked against the experiments in the classes 6 to 10 curriculum.
  • Practical homework and low-cost experiments that let students apply science to everyday life: water, cooking, farming and local crafts.
  • Support for experiential, competency-based learning as NEP-2020 asks, alongside the school's own teachers.
  • School-wise reports and improvement plans shared with the school, the funder and the education department.

Why it matters

Many schools in Madhya Pradesh now have science kits, ICT labs or smart classrooms, but nobody checks at classroom level whether they work and are used. Learning results stay low: in the PARAKH Rashtriya Sarvekshan 2024, 11% of Grade 9 students in the state were proficient in science, against 16% nationally.

Science is learnt best by doing it. Knowing what is present, what works and what is missing lets public and CSR money go where it makes a difference.
