Anveshana is a Science and Engineering competition where undergraduate students mentor underprivileged school students to create models based on engineering concepts through hands-on learning and research. Each team includes 2 engineering students and 2 school students, working together on projects addressing social problems. The school students gain exposure to planning, design, and scientific concepts throughout the process.
Since 2011, Agastya International Foundation has successfully organized Anveshana in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Delhi, and Mumbai. We are adding new locations to this program. The competition is well-received in several states across India.
