Four high school girls from tribal and rural communities in Karnataka had their research published in a Scopus-indexed international journal.
A first for India. A moment for the world. Four high school girls from rural and tribal Karnataka just published original research in Sustainable Chemistry One World — a Scopus-indexed international journal. Their paper? A novel green synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles that breaks down harmful dyes — with real applications in environmental remediation. This is likely the first time Indian high school girls from rural backgrounds have published in an international peer-reviewed journal. Not a student platform. Not a local competition. A global stage. This is what happens when curiosity meets mentorship — and when Anveshana opens doors that were never meant to be closed. Prayoga's Anveshana Program, 2024.
Our academic co-ordinator travels more than 30 km everyday just for the love of teaching!
Pushing boundaries in space research!
March 29th is an important day for Prayoga. The Sunday when Prayoga was featured in Prime Minister's Mann Ki Baat, brought national spotlight to our research led education initiative, Anveshana. A month later, the recognition continues and we have another reason to cheer. The Mann Ki Baat story compilation book brought out by the Union Information and Broadcasting Ministry after each episode, has published Prayoga's founder and chief mentor Dr H. S. Nagaraja's comprehensive piece about "Anveshana: Why practical science is the future of schools.'' Here's to celebrating this victory and many more inspiring stories.

To see Anveshana and Prayoga work being highlighted in Honorable Prime Minister's Mann Ki Baat, was deeply encouraging not just for us, but for the idea that research and inquiry must begin early in education.

Testimonials

Stories Bringing Hope

Real testimonials from those we've helped and those who help sharing the hope & heart.

Aruna, a science teacher at GMHPS Gulur, recalls a time when her students had little exposure to the world of possibilities beyond their immediate surroundings their dreams shaped largely by what they saw around them. But hers is a story of remarkable transformation. Through Prayoga's experiential learning initiative, the Kriya program has fundamentally broadened the way her students think and dream. Today, the young minds of GMHPS Gulur, Chikkaballapura, hold their heads high as they declare bold new ambitions to become science teachers, doctors, and changemakers. A classroom once bound by limited horizons has become a launchpad.

Kriya has brought in more change than I ever thought my classrooms would see. I shared the story of a Grade 6 student who was once hesitant and quiet in science classes. She lacked confidence, rarely participated, and often seemed disengaged. But when Kriya introduced hands-on activities and experiments into the classroom, things began to change.
