Bengaluru: Located on Kanakapura Road off Ravgodlu, Prayoga Institute of Education Research and its flagship Anveshana programme found mention during the 132nd episode of Mann Ki Baat Sunday, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi praising its efforts to make scientific research accessible to school students.Highlighting the initiative, Modi noted that deeper engagement leads to better understanding. He said Prayoga’s Anveshana programme enables students from Classes 9 to 12 to work in multiple subjects such as chemistry, earth sciences and wellness, offering hands-on exposure to research and opportunities to publish their work.Modi said: “Practice makes a man perfect. More practice leads to more knowledge… During Pariksha Pe Charcha, some students shared that while they like science, they also have a sense of fear around it. In this context, Prayoga’s initiative is commendable, as it helps students connect with science and provides opportunities for them to learn practically. When students do something on their own, curiosity develops naturally. Who knows, someone from such initiatives could go on to become a great scientist in the future.”
