Principal of Seth Juggilal Poddar Academy (ICSE)
“We want our children to be prepared not just for the examinations of today, but for the world they will enter tomorrow. When a child gets an opportunity to build something, solve a problem or see an idea take shape, learning becomes much more meaningful. This lab will give our students that opportunity.”
