NITI Aayog’s Atal Innovation Mission will launch the Atal Tinkering Lab’s Community Day in New Delhi on Friday.
The day will mark the initiative in which 25 mentors will engage with more than 200 students, who are not enrolled in the formal education system.
CEO NITI Aayog, Amitabh Kant, will launch the initiative in which mentors will visit four locations in New Delhi to conduct brief sessions with children, associated with various NGOs, on how innovations can help resolve the problems in the communities.
The Atal Tinkering Lab Community Drive Initiative is aimed at maximizing the impact of Atal Tinkering Labs by extending innovation to children, without formal educational, in the community.
The purpose of this initiative is to provide these children with the same educational tools as the students in Atal Tinkering Labs.
The NGOs participating in these interactions include organizations working with disabled children, street and working children, and girls from the weaker sections of society.
