Aahwahan Foundation, in collaboration with Vivo (Vsmart World Communications Ltd), has inaugurated its 509th Model Science Lab at Sree Maruthi High School, Bengaluru, Karnataka – 560082. This initiative reflects Aahwahan’s long-standing belief that real change begins with quality, uplifting communities through thoughtful, meaningful actions, especially in the lives of children and their education.
At Sree Maruthi High School, Aahwahan did not see a school with limitations; Aahwahan saw potential. Earlier, students lacked even the basic facilities required for practical learning, with no science lab to support their curiosity. As part of the Aahwahan Foundation’s school upgradation project, first model toilets were provided at Sree Maruthi High School, ensuring proper sanitation and safety for both students and teachers. Building on this effort, Aahwahan is now strengthening academic infrastructure and established a Model Science Lab, taking the next step toward quality education. True to its approach of first restoring dignity and then strengthening learning.
The newly established Model Science Lab is a modern, colourful, and student-friendly space, designed to make learning feel accessible and inspiring. Created exclusively for high school students, the lab has dedicated sections for Biology, Physics, Chemistry, and Maths, where every student can learn through hands-on experiments rather than memorisation. The lab is equipped with physics apparatus for motion, electricity, optics, and energy; chemistry experiment kits, glassware, periodic tables, and molecular models; and biology resources, including human and animal anatomy models, organism models, skeletons, charts, and microscopes. A telescope further encourages students to explore astronomy and think beyond the classroom.
At Aahwahan Foundation, we believe education should spark curiosity and confidence in students. This Model Science Lab ensures that children, regardless of their background, have access to the same quality learning experiences as anywhere else in the country.”-Mr. Braja Kishore Pradhan, CEO, Aahwahan Foundation
We are delighted and grateful to have this lab in our school, which will enable us to become the best scientists and scholars in the future. This lab looks so amazing, and we can make our science lab period enjoyable. This is inspiring all of us. As a student, this lab is our dream; to study in such an advanced lab is the dream of every student, including me. Thank you, Aahwahan Foundation and VIVO, for this support. – Bhoomika, Student
Through this initiative, Aahwahan Foundation once again strengthens its belief that true upliftment comes from quality, not charity. This Model Science Lab is expected to benefit over 10,000 students in the years to come, not only supporting present learning but also shaping the future. By nurturing curiosity, confidence, and critical thinking, Aahwahan hopes to inspire the next generation of scientists, innovators, and leaders who will contribute to the nation’s growth.
