“Gyan-Setu” means “knowledge-bridge”. This program aims at connecting remote parts of India through knowledge exchange.

Gyan-Setu is a volunteer program to conduct science-based workshops for middle-school students in remote parts of developmentally challenged states of India.

This program provides you a unique opportunity to contribute in spreading the joy of education among children and providing them exposure to the exciting world of science. This process will in turn help you to have better understanding of the land and people from these remote areas; thus facilitating development of a proactive attitude in you towards problems being faced by the society.

This program is organized by Educational Activity Research Center (EARC), Jnana Prabodhini, Pune. Please visit the following link for more details: http://jpearc.org/.

For the academic year 2020-21, this program is planned in 8 states viz. Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Orissa, Meghalaya, Manipur, and Jammu-Kashmir.

These states, and especially the specific regions within these states where Gyan-Setu workshops are being arranged, are one of the most under-developed parts of India. Of course, we need to expand this program to all other developmentally challenged parts of this country. We certainly plan to do so, slowly and steadily, through collaborations with various organizations.

Your organization would be most welcome to be a part of Gyan-Setu. As mentioned above, Gyan-Setu envisages building a strong and robust network of organizations to create a sustainable platform for this program. Please contact our office for more details or mail us at gyansetu@jnanaprabodhini.org.
