PRAGNAAN PRAYOGAALAYA (Science programs)
 
In most schools in India, teaching practices are guided largely by textbook content and are usually based on “chalk-talk” methods. This is even more the case in subjects like science. Teaching of science at the school level should be such that it encourages children to be curious, to explore and to apply, to be creative and to do things with their hands so that it could enhance their understanding of concepts and ideas. Perhaps because of the manner in which science is taught, children often find the subject difficult and anxiety-provoking. Additionally, poor infrastructure and scarce resources for laboratories makes it hard for children to gain any experience in hands-on learning or in learning by doing.
 
Pragnaan Prayogaalaya is an initiative of Pratham Activity and Resource Centre. It functions as a Science Hub. Intends to involve local community.
