Bengaluru, Feb 3 (PTI) Bengaluru-based research institute Prayoga, recognised by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), Government of India, has opened applications for the fourth edition of Anveshana on Monday.
Anveshana is a research programme that invites students from classes 9 to 12 to participate in advanced science research projects, cutting across critical areas such as Green Chemistry, Advanced Materials, Earth Sciences, and Agriculture Sciences under the guidance of senior researchers, said a press release issued by Prayoga.
"The programme is geared to foster innovation and nurture young scientific minds across the country, inspiring a passion for research by providing hands-on research experiences," said Vallish Herur, Managing Trustee of Prayoga.
According to him, since its inception, Anveshana has completed 20 research projects involving 60 students.
"Engaging in a science project was a special experience, as I learned concepts not yet taught in class," said Nalini, a class 9 student of Sai Krishna Vidya Mandir and a participant in the 2024 edition of Anveshana.
The students will be working with state-of-the-art facilities and under the guidance of experienced scientists, said Prayoga, adding that they will be working on research projects to address real-life challenges, thus developing a scientific temperament.
