Manthan Background

Late Mr. Ramesh Kothari was one of the pioneers in the field of science and communication and the resultant outreach programmes. His brain child ‘Manthan’ has been benefiting many children of the globe, students, educators and trainers as individuals and various communities at large, since a decade and more, through it’s efforts in invoking the spirit of Science Awareness and creating opportunities for better lifestyles. This has been achieved through the  informal education approach and extensive hands-on training, where sustainability in growth remains a continuous objective.

Since 1990’s, Manthan, known widely for its inventiveness, has achieved an expertise in initiating a repertoire of activities across India like science awareness programs, science teachers’ training, designing and distribution of hands-on science outreach and offshoot materials, designing and conducting science exhibitions and brining a new dimension to science education.

Through its profound experience in training and development, recently, Manthan has also covered major rural and tribal communities in Gujarat under its umbrella for entrepreneurship development with the help of Science and Technology intervention. Manthan has established a Community Science Centre at Narmada District of Gujarat State with the support of State Government.
