In the heart of Rajasthan's Khari Charnan village, a spark of change is illuminating lives. Mahindra Susten, a catalyst for sustainability solutions, is empowering the lives of over 500 young girls at the Government Senior Secondary Girls School.

Mahindra Susten initiated a profound makeover of the school's infrastructure in the year FY22. Fueled by the students' motivation and enthusiasm, they've established a cutting-edge STEM lab within the school's walls in the last fiscal year, FY23.

Considering the challenges faced by numerous government schools in terms of infrastructure, this initiative stands as a beacon of progress. STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) has emerged as a powerful tool for transforming the lives of young girls across India. This comprehensive approach equips them with essential skills and knowledge to navigate an increasingly complex, technology-driven world.

The STEM lab, built by Mahindra Susten, isn't just a room with equipment; it's a gateway to possibilities and opportunities previously unseen. At its heart lies the essence of hands-on learning, where theory meets practice and minds come alive with the thrill of discovery. Imagine coding and creating using state-of-the-art technology like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning kits. Picture students delving into the world of robotics and IoT applications, bringing their imaginative creations to life.

The lab has computers for coding, interactive screens for engaging learning experiences, and even a 3D printer that transforms ideas into reality. From creating parking sensors to measuring room temperature through coding, the possibilities are endless. Besides, aligned with the vision of renewable energy, the lab also prominently features solar energy projects, providing them a hands-on understanding of sustainable energy solutions. To enhance the overall learning experience, Associate Instructors have also been introduced. These guides offer invaluable support, helping students navigate through 600+ activities.

The impact of this lab has been astounding – not only did the number of students increase, but the overall attendance also soared. Students of the school are gaining the opportunity to learn and broaden their horizons at the grassroots level.

The Khari Charnan Girls School's STEM lab is a pioneering step that will pave the way for similar transformations in other institutions.

Mahindra Susten's initiative isn't just about a STEM lab; it's about sowing seeds of empowerment, nurturing aspirations, and crafting a future that's sustainable and brilliant. As these young girls learn, grow, and innovate, they pave the way for a tomorrow that's filled with limitless possibilities. Together, we're creating a world where dreams aren't just dreamed – they're lived.
