Vidnyanvahini's vision is to reduce this gap as much as possible at the educational level. Our organization reaches out to rural school children and offers them a means of learning science through laboratory experiments. We accomplish this using a Mobile Science Lab developed by our organization's founders.

While urban India has made very impressive progress to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century, rural school education in India never quite made it out of the nineteenth. This is especially true with respect to science education due to the lack of adequate laboratories. On the global scene, India's contribution to science and technology is quite noteworthy. But education at the rural school level has suffered from benign neglect. Whereas in metropolitan India we see the wonders of technology such as satellite communication and super computers; in rural India we see poverty, a lack of basic infrastructure, and an abundance of superstitions.
