Agastya International Foundation

Transforming Education Through Hands-On Science Learning

Agastya International Foundation runs one of the world's largest mobile and hands-on science education programs, serving economically disadvantaged children and public-school teachers across India. Founded in 1999, our mission is to spark curiosity, creativity, and scientific thinking among underserved communities through innovative, experiential learning.

Our Impact & Reach:
We operate hands-on science and art education programs across 25 Indian states, reaching rural, semi-urban, and urban regions. Our mobile labs carry our vision across rural India, bringing quality STEAM education directly to children who need it most.

Vision 2032
Agastya is revolutionizing education at an unprecedented scale, with a bold vision to impact 100 million underserved children and 1 million teachers by 2032. We aim to build a new generation of tinkerers, creators, innovators, and solution-seekers who are humane, anchored, and connected.
Why Support Us:
Your contribution helps bridge the educational equity gap by providing hands-on learning experiences that government schools often cannot afford. Every donation directly supports mobile science labs, teacher training programs, and educational resources that transform how children learn and think about the world around them.

Join us in creating lasting change through education!
