The hands-on method is aligned to student’s disposition of learning through visual cues facilitating in gaining scientific insights, thereby, broadening scientific knowledge, expanding and fulfilling scientific curiosities. The variety of equipment and materials in the laboratory help in effective teaching-learning process. The in-house materials in the domain of Physics include Rheostat, Step-Clock, Bar Magnet, Rectangular Glass Prism, Triangular Glass Prism, Concave and Convex Lens and Mirror. In the domain of Biology, Compound Microscope, Human Eye, Human Kidney, Brain and Human Endoskeleton are in display, while, in the field of Chemistry, chemical elements found in the periodic table, acids and many more are stored. Furthermore, equipment that aids in scientific exploration like Beaker, Test Tube, Measuring Cylinder, Funnel, Conical Flask, Spirit Lamp and Wire Gauge are contained within the laboratory.
Computer Unit
There are two computer rooms in the centre. The computers were donated Christian Blind Mission (CBM) India, Bangalore. The computer unit serves several core purposes which are digital literacy, academic enhancement, career preparation and life skills development. The two computer rooms are utilized for hands-on computer practical training. The students learn skills like typing and key-boarding skills, Microsoft office, programming language such as C++, data analysis and visualization and many more as per the level of their schooling.
NIOS Unit
National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) program for class 10 began in the centre on 19 September, 2020. The primary aim behind this programme was to cater to those students with disabilities and the drop outs (both normal and disabled) facing difficulty succeeding in regular schools. NIOS was the obvious choice for several reasons: it is based on open system, it is flexible both in curriculum and exam, encourages self-paced learning, availability of proper study resources and support, inclusive approach and relaxed evaluation system. Furthermore, it provides quality education at an affordable rate.
The institute felt the need to start an NIOS centre, due to the fact that there were always, students who couldn’t compete in the regular education system and perpetually fell behind. However, we couldn’t just allow them to drop out and let their career and educational dreams perish. We are committed to uplift the most marginalized and vulnerable and integrate them into the society. So, NIOS facilitated us in helping the most educationally susceptible populace. Since its initiation, we’ve enrolled a total of 70 students, out of which 31 students have successfully passed out. However, the program is not without its own set of challenges, but the educators are making continuous effort to overcome them.
