Vikram a Sarabhai Community Science Centre

r Sarabhai was concerned about the quality of science education in India and felt that it did not adequately provide familiarization with the scientific method or the acquisition of knowledge through experimentation. To address these challenges, he initiated the ‘Group for Improvement of Science Education (GISE)’ in Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad. Activities of GISE took shape of the ‘Community Science Centre’ in 1966 as a facility where those concerned about the quality of science education could come together to experiment and try out new ideas and techniques for teaching science. After Sarabhai’s death in 1971, the Centre was renamed as the ‘Vikram A Sarabhai Community Science Centre’ in his honour.
