MASHA INNOVATION CENTER
|
Masha Innovation Center started for the purpose of inculcating the sprit of creativity and inventiveness among school students. It was inaugurated by the Dist. Collector Shiri. Nagarajan IAS on 01-02-2014. This innovation center is housed in 1500 sft area and situated at Peruvilai, just 500 meter back of Parvathipurm Bus Stand, Nagercoil, Kanyakumari Dist. This center consists of a class room, workshop, and a laboratory. School students are being imparted with practical training in creative science during week ends at free of cost. This training includes learning by doing concepts, think science presentations, hands on projects, science fair projects etc. Every year a science expo is being conducted giving chance to students to display their models to dignitaries. Two of such expos were conducted so far which was visited by the District Collector, SP and the Municipal Chairman. The idea behind starting of Innovation Center. "After gaining 2 successive Ignite National awards, I have received several enquiries from school students all over the state to guide them in doing science projects. So I have opened a website specially for this purpose and started helping school students in India and guided them to win national awards. During 2013 two school students who were guided by me won IGNITE National awards. I shared this happy news with our then District Collector of Kanyakumari Shri. Nagarajan.IAS During further discussions I expressed to him my concern over the challenges faced by the Indian student community in proving their talents beyond curriculum. Actually the School kids in India lack proper guidance and support for their interest in science models. Due to the academic syllabus pressure the teachers are also unable to support them fully. Parental support for such activities is very rare. Even science teachers fail to inform or motivate the students on science fairs which are the best opportunities to display one’s talent. There is still a vacuum in this field. After a patient hearing the Collector asked me "why not we attempt to fill this vacuum right from our Dist- Kanyakumari- the southern most tip of India?" He encouraged me to open a centre for this purpose. Few private organizations supported me financially to startup the center. This was how the idea of starting my centre- Masha Innovation Centre developed." "I have stated this center with a fund of 1 lakh given by my Grandma. The Indian Over Seas Bank and the Chairman of Excel School has given Rs.25,000/- each. Padmasree. Dr. Azad Moopen Chairman of DM health care, UAE, and Padmasree. B.R. Shetty, Chairman of UAE Exchange also major donors for this noble cause who have donated Rs. I lakh each."
