Muskaan is a STEM learning initiative conceived by Rolls-Royce and supported by Charities Aids Foundation India to increase interest and encourage learning amongst students taking Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) subjects.

Throughout India

Muskaan is active in 12 schools in Bengaluru, New Delhi, Navi Mumbai and Pune. Through this, we plan to reach out to at least 2,000 students annually who will be directly guided and encouraged to supplement their understanding of STEM concepts through special activities and learning tools.

The programme contributes to enhanced learning among children through special activities using kits-based learning and other need based intervention. In the long term, objective would be to build capacities of teachers and schools, and NGOs who are active in helping children with learning difficulties to help them adopt STEM in their daily life.

CRISP scholarship is funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Rolls-Royce for mid-career top level people in the field of science and innovation - with links to public policy - in India & Sri Lanka.

CRISP exposes young future leaders from India & Sri Lanka to a range of innovation management processes in the UK with an emphasis on connections between research, innovation, policy and leadership.

Nurturing future leaders

A unique STEM initiative, this programme provides a platform for future leaders who are building their careers in science related industries to form a community of science and innovation experts. The programme is about building long lasting professional association with fellows representing diverse professions bound by common thread of technology and innovation.

In 2015, the CRISP fellows formally registered a not-for-profit entity – CRISP Social Ventures, to promote science and innovation as a means to development.

Tamana Education Series

Since inception of its technology-research lab, Tamana has been researching on developing (audio/visual aids) solutions catering to the NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) curriculum.

In 2014, Tamana studied the effect of 2D & 3D Virtual Instructional Modules on the Intellectually Challenged Secondary Students of NIOS.

Results from the analysis demonstrate that 2D&3D instructional modules enhance learning process for the intellectually challenged and boost their performance towards learning.

There are nearly 13 million blind/partially sighted people in India, and another estimate puts the number of low vision cases at 28 million.

Education, Training & Rehabilitation are the three most critical aspects for a blind person to bring about quality improvement in their lives.

NFBM is a social organisation that strives for equality of opportunity for the blind in their education, training and employment. The organisation has started a school for blind girls.

A helping hand

The School houses over 140 blind girls from the rural Maharashtra, and provide free facilities including lodging, boarding, education and medical assistance to the students. The School offers education upto 7th standard in its own premises, after which the students are shifted to the Integrated School at Sant Dynaneshwar High School, Alandi Devachi.

We support the students’ expenses and help set up of labs that will help the girls learn Maths and Science.
