Science for Rural India (SFRI)
An opportunity to make a difference: As a researcher in applied physics, I am inclined to take up projects that will be of benefit to the society. And the best way in that direction is to teach, and inspire young minds towards science.
It is an excellent opportunity for researchers who need a break from usual research and relive their school days when the concepts of science had kindled curiosity and passion to know more in them. Explaining science to the school students not only excites the students, but also allows for empathetic thinking, making models and demonstrations that students can do by themselves and build upon it.
As a part of the physical outreach programs of SFRI we go to different schools and explain the concepts of science (I usually do physics) through do-it-yourself experiments. This empowers the students as they can also try those experiments at their leisurely time, while simultaneously understanding the concepts behind them.

In this page I will be providing links to the demonstrations and experiments that I have showcased in different schools I have visited.

The following images are from my first outreach session, in which I was overwhelmed to see the curiosity and enthusiasm of the students. These young minds inspired me to continue the outreach activities, and share my passion in science with as many curious minds as possible.
