Science Outreach

Manthan aims at a continuous development for the betterment of the Nation by bringing about a change at the grass-root level and one of its ways is the generation of scientific temperament amongst masses of people across the country through several outreach programmmes. Manthan’s Science Outreach and Communication programmes are aimed at promoting public awareness in understanding of science and making informal contributions to science education using low-cost approaches. Manthan not only aims at the students but works on several projects related to community development as a whole.

In a country like India, outreach activities play an important role for the development purpose. India houses several thousands of villages and urban areas. Large amount of population of the country resides in interior regions, so it becomes difficult for them to reach to informal educational centers like Science Centres, Museums, Libraries, Science Playgrounds, etc. Thus, through the outreach activities, Manthan tries to educate people by reaching their doorsteps, carry out outreach activities in the form of hands-on activity kits, mobile exhibitions, hands-on exhibitions, offshoot material, awareness campaigns, posters etc.
