Many public schools in Hyderabad do not have science practicals for want of either equipment or trained teachers.Thus,the interest in science is not roused at the right age. Vidnyan Vaahini plans to overcome this hurdle by conducting experiments in such schools.VV has a mobile science van which has all the apparatus.

Vidnyan Vaahini had started covering 25 schools a month in one year of its completion of work.

It was decided to expand the areas which were covered by Vidnyan Vaahini.

we thought Maths would be a good area to expand in.

There was a Maths lab run by Ashoka group of education in Nasik.

Mr.Dilip Gotkhindikar ran this Maths lab in Nasik.

We decided to invite him to Hyderabad and conduct a Maths workshop for some teachers and students.

Thus,we organized a Maths workshop on the 11th and 12th of Feb.
