ABOUT US

Empowering Futures, One Mind At a Time – Together, We're Shaping Brighter Tomorrows Through Education.

Established in 2013 by the late Mr. Vivek Ponkshe and his students, Gyan-Setu pioneers national integration through science popularization. As an initiative of Jnana Prabodhini's Educational Activity Research Centre (EARC), we conduct hands-on science workshops in schools across remote regions of India, including developmentally challenged states like Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Jharkhand, and Jammu & Kashmir.

Our Story

At Gyan-Setu, our journey began in 2013 with a visionary idea. Inspired by the belief in 'national integration through science popularization,' we embarked on a mission to bridge the gap in education across India's remote and underdeveloped regions.

Under the umbrella of Jnana Prabodhini's Educational Activity Research Centre (EARC), we've tirelessly conducted hands-on science workshops in schools nestled in the heart of the country's most challenging landscapes. From the tranquil hills of Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya to the vibrant cultures of Assam and Manipur, and the rugged terrains of Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Jharkhand, and Jammu & Kashmir, we've left no stone unturned.

Driven by the spirit of volunteerism, we've welcomed individuals from every corner of India to join us in spreading the joy of learning and fostering meaningful connections with these communities. Through our collaborative efforts and the unwavering support of local partner organizations, we've not only imparted scientific knowledge but also delved into the rich tapestry of life and the unique challenges faced by those we serve.

As we continue to expand our reach and deepen our impact, we invite you to be part of our story. Together, let's embark on a journey of knowledge exchange, compassion, and growth, as we strive to build a brighter future for every child, regardless of their geographical location or socio-economic background.
