Igniting young minds with Agastya Foundation

Bringing Aah! (curiosity),Aha! (creativity) Ha-Ha!(confidence) in under privileged children and government school teachers is the motto of Agastya Foundation. A non profit organization began its journey in April 1999 and so far, has touched 10 million students and 300,000 teachers.

The foundation delivers its programs across India through mobile lab vans, lab on bikes, science centers, and night village school centers. The mobile lab, “Science on Wheels”, is equipped with science models and low-cost experiments. The mobile van visits under-resourced schools and help students experience the fascinating world of science. The mobile lab is accompanied by two knowledgeable teachers who demonstrate models and elaborate the science behind them.

In the initial engagement phase, BECHEM India has associated with Agastya foundation by sponsoring a mobile van equipped with science models and low-cost experiment apparatus. The mobile science van will travel through the remote schools of Gulbarga in Karnataka. Upon success, the project will be expanded to reach more students through additional mobile labs.
