Agastya is a transformative educational foundation. Since its formation in 1999, Agastya is actively engaged in propagating hands-on learning among poor rural children and teachers. It streams its vision and mission to rural India through a variety of channels including a creativity lab located on a 172-acre campus near Bangalore, over 160 mobile labs spread across 19 states in India and over 60 science centers spread across AP and Karnataka. Its advisors and members include entrepreneurs, scientists, educators, philanthropists, and teachers. It has directly reached (face-to-face) 10 million children and 250,000 teachers through our continued efforts.
Agastya's hands-on program aims to spark curiosity and addresses significant gaps in the education system viz. lack of practical exposure to science concepts and poor teacher-student interaction. The main goal is to provide access to, attract and retain vulnerable and disadvantaged children to quality educational programs.
