At Gyan-Setu, our journey began in 2013 with a visionary idea: to promote national integration through science popularization. We set out to bridge educational gaps in India’s remote, tribal, and developmentally challenged regions, using science as a tool to connect, empower, and inspire.

​

As an initiative of Jnana Prabodhini's Educational Activity Research Centre (EARC), we have conducted hands-on science and mathematics workshops in schools located in some of the country’s most underserved and culturally diverse regions. From the tranquil hills of Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya to the vibrant cultures of Assam, Manipur, and Nagaland, and from the rugged terrains of Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, and to the remote schools of Ladakh, Jammu & Kashmir, our efforts span across landscapes and communities.

​

Driven by the spirit of volunteerism, Gyan-Setu brings together passionate individuals—mostly college students and young professionals—from across India. These volunteers not only teach, but also learn, live, and grow with the communities they serve. Through language exchange, homestays, traditional meals, and shared experiences, they form lasting human bonds and develop a deep understanding of India’s social and cultural fabric.

​

With the support of local partner organizations, we continue to build human bridges through knowledge exchange—nurturing curiosity, compassion, and confidence in young learners while transforming volunteers into socially responsible, culturally aware changemakers.

​

As we grow, we invite you to join this movement. Together, let’s create a future where every child—no matter where they live—has access to joyful learning and a sense of belonging in a united India.
