Executive Summary :

The project aims to develop students' interest in physics, chemistry, and mathematics by making concepts easy to learn. It also aims to prepare them for developing small projects and raise their level of plans for competing in state and national level competitions. The project proposes five camps, focusing on students from classes 8th to 10th, to make them aware of basic concepts through hands-on experiments and exhibitions. Experiments will be demonstrated in various fields, such as physics, chemistry, and mathematics. Students will be exposed to experiments in physics, chemistry, and mathematics, as well as the Fundamental of Calculus and best approximations by fractions. The project will last for six months, with a total cost of 00000000 non-recurring capital cost. The project has a target group of 2000 direct and 10,000 indirect beneficiaries, including Gen/OBC/SC/ST 50 SC and rest Gen. The approach and methodology include six camps planned for the three borders areas of Najafgarh, Narela, and Rohini, each benefiting approximately 400 students. Experts from all three areas will demonstrate the experiments, and student projects will be invited to showcase on the venue. University kits will also be used for demonstration purposes. The project will have a great impact on society, as hundreds of children will have a taste of the interesting science and become more confident in their understanding of scientific methods. They will learn how to think with originality, derive conclusions logically from observations, and plan experiments to test ideas. School teachers who accompany the children will also be exposed to the experiment-based science teaching methodology. A team of trainers will also learn and develop a new perception of science that will help them in their scientific careers. The project will have a significant impact on society, as hundreds of children will have a taste of science and become more confident in their abilities.
