Nischals Smart Learning Solutions has successfully partnered with the Government of Gujarat for the 'Mission Schools of Excellence' project, initiated in October 2022 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This ambitious project, which is partially supported by the World Bank, has a total budget of INR 10,000 crores, making it the most significant educational investment by any state in India to date.

Through this partnership, Nischals successfully set up its tinkering labs and its patented portable and microscale Math & Science Labs in 2,180 government schools. These facilities offer a distinctive, hands-on learning environment that emphasizes experimental and experiential education. The initiative has already benefited over 700,000 students and 7,000 teachers throughout the state.

The initiative encompasses the construction of 50,000 new classrooms, the establishment of 1.5 lakh smart classrooms, 20,000 computer labs, and the deployment of 5,000 tinkering labs in over 41,000 schools. The Govt. of Gujarat partnered with Nischals for establishing tinkering labs and Math and Science labs. These labs are a crucial component of the initiative, designed to foster kinesthetic learning and scientific exploration among students.  

The labs consist of over 10,000 components, lab manuals and video guides all of which have been specifically translated into Gujarati. Teacher training programs were also conducted, equipping them with the required skill set. Apart from this, in its recent survey nischals announced that 99% of teachers prefer experimental teaching approaches over traditional methods. They have also secured a patent from the Government of India for ‘World’s first portable micro-scale labs' designed to reshape the education landscape and revolutionize conventional teaching methodologies by introducing a hands-on experiential learning approach for students from grades 1-10.

Founder of nischals, Nischal Narayanam said, “Mission Schools of Excellence’ is a groundbreaking initiative with the potential to serve as a national model.” He further added, “The project’s scale, size, and demonstrable impact highlight the transformative power of investing in innovative educational models and solutions. Nischals urges other states to consider replicating this successful model to enhance school infrastructure, enrich the academic experience, and ultimately elevate the overall quality of education throughout India”.

This ambitious partnership, overseen by The Gujarat Government's Vidya Samiksha Kendra (VSK), serves as the command control centre for schools, monitoring activities to ensure the effectiveness of the initiative to significantly improve the quality of education and infrastructure in all government and grant-in-aid schools across Gujarat.
