Causes Working On

At VigyanShaala, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to create a better world through science. That is why we are on a mission to enable the innovators of tomorrow to achieve their dreams by bringing science, technology, and learning to their doorstep today. We are working to make STEM accessible to marginalized communities through our ‘Phygital’ (physical + digital). In our Rural STEM Champions Program we build community labs in remote areas, primarily in the Himalaya and nurture bright STEM undergraduates from marginalized backgrounds as Community Champions. Our program, Kalpana is a fast growing and internationally recognised initiative nurturing Undergraduate Women in STEM.
