Workshops at schools in Maram, Chanoli and Satoli villages in the Himalayas, April 2016

After Hiteshi, in the Indian Himalayas I also visited Jeevashala in village Maram, Government Junior High School in village Chanoli and Aarohi Bal Sansaar in village Chanoli. The theme was the same 'Tinkering with Electronics' and the objective was to explain to students how to think like a scientist and ignite their interest in science.

Jeevanshala, a tiny school in village Maram, that I have been visiting for last four years

Children made ToothBrush bots and then used their imagination to convert them into fantastic creatures!

Government Junior High School in village Chanoli

The school had organised a march under the government's 'School Chalo Abhiyaan'

I liked their students' suggestion box 'Mann ki Baat' (what your heart desires)
- same name as that of the monthly programme hosted by Indian Prime Minister

I too enjoyed the mid-day meal provided free at all government-run schools
