‘Bhavna Didi’s Science Pathshala’ mobile lab started for rural students in Chhattisgarh. It will provide practical training in technologies like AI, robotics, drones. It aims to train more than 5,000 students in a year.
Raipur 15 July 2026/ An important initiative was started today in Chhattisgarh towards connecting rural students with future technologies and giving a new direction to science-based education. Chief Minister Shri Vishnudev Sai and Assembly Speaker Dr. Raman Singh today flagged off the free mobile emerging technology lab run under ‘Bhavna Didi Ki Science Pathshala’ from the assembly premises. This state-of-the-art mobile lab will reach the schools of Pandariya Assembly constituency and provide practical training to the students in modern technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotics, Drones, 3D Printing, Coding, Internet of Things (IoT), Aeromodeling and Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR).
- Chief Minister Shri Vishnudev Sai said that to build a developed Chhattisgarh, it is necessary that children of rural areas also join the mainstream of modern science and technology. He said that ‘Bhavna Didi Ki Science Pathshala’ is not just a mobile lab but an innovative initiative that gives new flight to the dreams of rural students. It will become an effective medium to develop scientific thinking, innovation, self-confidence and technical proficiency in children.
- Chief Minister Shri Sai said that today the whole world is moving rapidly towards artificial intelligence, robotics, drones, data science and digital technologies. At such a time, it is necessary that students from rural areas also get knowledge and practical experience of these emerging technologies. He said that the effort of the state government is to ensure that there is no inequality in opportunities and that a village child should become as capable in the technologies of the future as a student from a metropolitan city.
- He said that the basic objective of the new education policy is to develop skills, innovation, practicality and creative thinking among the students. This mobile lab is a meaningful effort in the same direction, which will not only teach children to use technology, but will also inspire them towards creation and innovation of new technologies.
Today’s era is the era of science and technology.
- Assembly Speaker Dr. Raman Singh said that today’s era is the era of science and technology and it is very important to connect children with new technologies with time. He said that innovative initiatives like ‘Bhavna Didi Ki Science Pathshala’ will provide the same opportunities to the students of rural areas as the students of big cities. This will increase children’s curiosity about science, develop innovative thinking and they will be able to understand modern technologies and also learn their practical use.
- Assembly Speaker Dr. Raman Singh said that through the mobile lab, students will not be limited to bookish knowledge only, but will also get the experience of flying drones, operating robots, preparing 3D models and working on modern equipment. He said that this initiative will provide a new direction to the rural talent as well as create a strong foundation for future scientists, engineers and technical experts.
- He praised Pandaria MLA Smt. Bhavna Bohra and said that she is continuously making new efforts for education, innovation and development of young talents in her assembly constituency. This mobile science lab is also the result of his visionary thinking and commitment towards education, which will bring positive changes in the lives of thousands of students in the times to come.
Overview of technical facilities of mobile lab
During the program, Assembly Speaker Dr. Raman Singh and Chief Minister Shri Vishnudev Sai visited the Mobile Emerging Technology Lab. The trainers gave them detailed information about the various equipment, training modules and teaching systems available in the lab. Taking special interest, the Chief Minister personally inspected AI, robotics, drones and other technological equipment and learned how students would learn these technologies practically. He described it as an innovative and inspiring effort to technically empower rural talents. While observing various technical modules displayed in the lab, he took information about the training process from the trainers and appreciated the practical experience given to the children. He said that experiment-based education increases both interest and self-confidence in learning among students.
Technical education will reach more than five thousand students in a year
- It is noteworthy that this Mobile Emerging Technology Lab will provide training by visiting government schools and Saraswati Shishu Mandir of Pandariya Assembly constituency. A team of five experienced trainers will conduct three to five day workshops in each school, in which students will be given practical training in modern technologies like AI, robotics, drones and aeromodelling, 3D printing, coding, Internet of Things and AR/VR.
- Students who complete the training will also be provided a certificate. Under this ambitious initiative, a target has been set to provide technical education to more than five thousand students in the first year. In the first phase, priority will be given to students of class 10th, 11th and 12th, while in the upcoming phases, students of other classes will also get the benefit.
- The biggest feature of this mobile lab is its hands-on learning method. Students will gain hands-on experience flying drones, operating robots, coding, creating 3D models, and using technologies like AI and AR/VR. This will develop in them technical understanding, creativity, problem solving ability and spirit of innovation.
- During the program, Assembly Speaker Dr. Raman Singh and Chief Minister Shri Vishnudev Sai also wrote their views on the feedback board installed in the mobile lab and extended their best wishes for the success of this innovative initiative.
- On this occasion, Deputy Chief Minister Mr. Arun Sao, Deputy Chief Minister Mr. Vijay Sharma, Skill Development Minister Guru Khushwant Saheb, MLA Mrs. Bhavna Bohra, MLA Mr. Sushant Shukla, MLA Mr. Yogeshwar Raju Sinha, Chhattisgarh Film Development Corporation President Ms. Mona Sen and other public representatives and a large number of students were present.
