About Sakar in IIT Gandhinagar,Gujrat , India, Ahmedabad

This initiative is a social cause undertaken by the Students of IIT Gandhinagar so as to bring a change to the style of teaching and learning in the schools and also promote interest in Maths & Science among the school children.
Most of us disagree the kind of Education System we have today in the schools. We believe that the conventional text book teaching may be good for theoretical approach but does not bring much good to the practical day to day lives. Also the primitive ways have developed a fear among students for the subjects like Maths & Science.
So here at Sakar, we go to the near-by schools of our area and we teach the students with a totally non-conventional way which involves class demonstrations, interaction, projects, etc. Basically the methodology with which we approach any class is not a Teacher-Student type but a Friend-Friend type, where the students can learn in a comfortable and interesting way. Gone are the days when some students would say that "the Classroom feels boring."
