They are above 60. And they have traveled about 3 Lakh kilometers to take Science to Kids.
A group of retired professionals. One ‘Mobile Science Laboratory’ bus. 2,80,000 Kilometres traveled. More than 3 Lakh students covered. Science education by this group of senior citizens will give our youthful teachers a complex! As the ‘Mobile Science Laboratory’ (MSL) bus turns on the winding roads of Maharashtra, the teachers ready the science experiments and all the material for activities. A science laboratory on wheels is perhaps no novelty in India these days; after all, it has proved to be the simplest way to reach out to those in rural landscapes. However, the people taking it from place to place certainly are. ‘Vidnyanvahini’, as the name itself gives away, is literally a wealth of knowledge on wheels. Knowledge is imparted at absolutely no cost at all and science is made interesting by Vidnyanvahini’s team, a group of retired professionals from the various scientific fields.
