All the children are in the age group of 6 to 14 years and majority of them are out of school. After NARMADA’s intervention some of the children have been enrolled in Government schools. The centers run for 4 hours during the day after which the children help their parents out in the fields or tend the cattle. Students of several government-run middle schools and high schools in the region do not have science lab facilities. They cannot perform science experiments.
They have to depend only on textbooks to write answers to questions in the examinations. They thus lag behind their urban counterparts. More important, they do not develop scientific temperament.
NARMADA has undertaken a modest initiative to overcome these lacunae by starting a mobile science Laboratory. A van carrying scientific equipment visits nearby villages as per a well-laid out schedule. Science experiments are demonstrated to the middle school students who can carry out the experiments under the guidance of the teachers and our volunteers.
