Over 1500 cases of food poisoning were reported, many among students.
Street food is a cultural delight, but unsafe handling & poor hygiene are putting lives at risk.
Time to push for food safety awareness and strict checks.

From rural Karnataka to global science networks!

Reshma, Lakshmi, Kirat and Yamini, 9th graders from Karnataka participating in the Anveshana research program at Prayoga have authored a research publication in a globally recognised scientific journal.
Congratulate them on their success. This achievement will inspire many more girl students.

Coming from socially-disadvantaged and humble backgrounds, the success of these girls is all the more worth celebrating. It is also a matter of great satisfaction to see girl students from rural areas pursue their dreams, excel in STEM and make a mark on the world stage. Applaud Prayoga for encouraging scientific education, research and innovation at the grassroots as well as ensuring that disadvantaged backgrounds do not remain a barrier to success in line with the ethos of NEP 2020.

While AI is making waves, it's time for a reality check: a teacher using AI may upgrade their class, but they can never be replaced by a run-of-the-mill robot. Thrilled to share my recent publication on the Utilization of AI in Science Education. https://t.co/u7KuDMXEF5
