Thanks Anupama Ambika AnilkumarPrasenjeet Patil for this wonderful initiative to reach out to schools in the NER of India.
We worked with 45 school teachers representing nearly 20 government and private schools from Pasighat and nearby regions, including Sille, Oyan, Mebo and Roing.
Organized -Jawaharlal Nehru College (JNC) here in East Siang district
on 14th Oct 2025 by the college’s Physics Department Head Dr. S. Jayanthi, under the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC), led by Dr DP Panda, in collaboration with the DBT Star College Scheme, under the guidance of Dr Temin Payum.
JNC Principal Dr T Tashi Taloh inaugurated the event and highlighted the importance of Foldscope and the vital role of physics educators in promoting scientific learning in Arunachal Pradesh. He emphasized that such workshops would greatly strengthen the scientific capabilities of teachers across the state.
As part of the initiative, Foldscopes were distributed free of cost to all the participating schools. The workshop concluded with an overwhelming positive feedback from the participants, who appreciated the initiative for fostering scientific curiosity and innovation among educators.
One of the few sessions where teachers asked doubts, raised concerns and even went back and successfully trained their students on the use of the foldscope.
"Empowering teachers is the most sustainable investment in educational transformation. Let's build that future together."
