Vidnyanvahini - Mobile Learning Laboratory

: There is no doubt that education in some of the institutions of India ranks among the best in the world, and this is wonderful. Education at the rural school level, however has suffered from gross neglect. In many rural areas education is very basic and does not often reach out to the children; many children do not feel compelled to attend since they do not understand the material and are sometimes not able to perceive how it would affect their lives. Well, in Maharashtra, Vidnyanavahini changed all that.

Thanks to Vidnyanavahini, thousands of rural children in Maharashtra have had the oppportunity to experience the joy of science, and the growth that comes with it. Vidnyanvahini’s objective is to try to reduce the gap between urban and rural education as much as possible. The Mobile Science Laboratory (MSL) project of Vidnyanvahini was conceived to reach out to rural school children and to offer them the means of learning science through laboratory experiments.
