Agastya Runs the Largest Hands-On Science Program in the World!

Tapping the valuable resource of bright but underprivileged children and teachers in rural India, we provide an environment in which they can create, tinker, seek solutions and find them. We encourage inquiry from children, who are inquisitive by nature!

Help millions of disadvantaged, vulnerable and at-risk children to escape the vicious cycle of ignorance and poverty! Make a donation to support our work! 


Transforming Attitudes to Learning

'Yes' to 'Why'

'Looking' to 'Observing'

'Passiveness' to 'Exploring'

'Textbook-bound' to 'Hands-on'

'Fear' to 'Confidence'
