School, Bilara, on 3rd September, 2026 (previously organized for PM Shri Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Barmer on 4th February 2026), funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), India. The primary objective of the program is to promote gender equality, strengthen the ecosystem, and guide participants on balancing work and life. Given the great benefits of being prepared early, it would be highly beneficial to increase interest in science and technology among girl students in early education.
