The startup aims at creating a Portable Mini Science Laboratory in vernacular medium content with Desk and Solar Light for everyone.

The gap between the educational opportunities available in traditional schools compared to new age schools has increased over the past two decades. Schools in tier 2 cities and rural areas suffer from lack of basic laboratory facilities and teaching aids. Brilliant students are confined to text books without having a chance to experience hands on experimentation. It comes back to haunt them in interviews and entrances when pitched against privileged students who have had the best of both worlds. They are termed unemployable, educated with a degree but without skills. The major reason is that these students have learnt, not experienced their subjects.

Utkarsh Edutech Pvt Ltd is developing a science kit or a mini portable science laboratory created completely in alignment with the school curriculum and the text book followed in a particular class with provisions of materials available in vernacular medium. The kit will contain relevant equipment and exercises along with instruction manuals in English as well as vernacular mediums against the activities mentioned in the science text book of a particular class. A teacher can directly refer to these kits while teaching a particular chapter and can make learning fun.
