Science On Wheels (SOW) is the initiative of Project ‘Life’ that brings light of science in the darkness prevailing in Rural Gujarat, in terms of illiteracy, poverty etc. Let us introduce you with the programme and the organization!

            Thus SOW was established to identify and fill the gap in curriculum and make science more interesting and relevant for students. The SOW bus regularly visits and facilitates rural schools where students can conduct experiments using the standard-wise kits developed by our education team.
