Vivekananda Vidyavardhaka Sangha, Puttur, manages numerous rural educational institutions across Dakshina Kannada and has been instrumental in promoting quality education for over a century. To further strengthen STEM education in the region, VVS proposes establishing modern Physics and Chemistry Laboratories in two beneficiary schools — Sri Bharathi Higher Primary School, Alankar, and Sulkeri High School, Puttur Taluk.
This initiative aims to enhance experiential learning, scientific temperament, and hands-on understanding among rural students.
Project Objective
Establish fully equipped Physics and Chemistry laboratories in two rural schools.
Strengthen STEM learning through practical, experiment-based education.
Improve conceptual clarity, safety awareness, and application-based learning.
Align with NEP 2020 goals of experiential and inquiry-driven learning.
