वराहमिहिर विज्ञान केंद्र
Our Aim is to develop scientific attitude towards life through participating in Experiments (different modes of science). A child has natural inclination to reason out everything & this quality is not nourished in today’s schooling. The child becomes more dependent, less confident & less innovative & hence the child would contribute little to society.To explore potential of child & create a space where children will be guided (not taught) to unleash their creativity in the subject of their interest and in effect develop skills that are necessary to excel in our society.
We volunteered ourselves to work with a dream – Create a model for education where there will be a blend of formal as well as non-formal education both, the children will enjoy it and experience fulfillment, parents will be left satisfied. We are proud to mention that we have been successful in our venture so far.
TIMELINE OF VARAHMIHIR SCIENCE CENTRE

Actual work of the Project started from 1st January 2013 with the initial planning of activities to be done at the centre and of setting up a proper lab where scientific models could be displayed and where students could perform activities and practicals.

After this initial planning it was time for executing the plan. The work started by hosting different science activities and workshops on Sundays so that students from any school could participate in these activities.
