TESTIMONIALS
Hear from our supporters
Former President of India
“The lesson we derive out of [the Agastya] experience is that innovative and student friendly solutions are needed to enable scientific learning in the youth, especially those in rural and remote regions of the nations of the world.”
Rakesh Jhunjhunwala
Investor and Philanthropist
"The purpose of Agastya, in my opinion, is not to teach science but to arouse curiosity through the medium of science. When the child gets curious, he wants to learn."
AM Naik
Former Executive Chairman, Larsen & Toubro
"When Ramji explained the van [Mobile Science Lab] to me, I said I would buy it and if it was any good, I would get L&T to buy it for every location. I felt it was good, so we now have 11 or 12 mobile labs."
