Children Creativity Centre at Palghar
Chandrakant Ghatal, a farmer from Kasa village, Dahanu district in Maharashtra, has established an astronomy center named Anuja Aakash Nirikhsan Kendra (AANK). He teaches astronomy to the tribal children in that area. He has two telescopes and has one-of-its-kind astronomy lab in Palghar district. Additionally, children from various schools visit his centre. He also conducts exhibitions/training on astronomy, educating the students about the cosmos and other astronomical observations. He is a recipient of many awards and recognitions, including the Palghar Bhushan Puraskar in 2016.
GIAN has been working towards augmenting creativity among children by providing them an environment in which they can think, experiment and innovate. It aims to develop in the students a sense of curiosity about their surroundings, and an ability to question, observe, think rationally and innovate. The organization focussed on their over-all development.
Both organizations are now keen to collaborate in order to reach out to the tribal communities and share with them the fruits of education and experimentation.
