Local knowledge
Science outdoors — forest walks, village centres, and small groups where people talk through what they see and measure.
About Vijnana Aranya
Aranya takes science into rural, tribal, and remote areas. We spend time in the field, slow down observation, and use simple tools to read the landscape with care.
Sessions blend local knowledge and school science: biodiversity walks, water and soil checks, and quiet conversations about conservation that are specific to the place.
What happens in a visit
- Walks and field notes — plants, insects, water, soil; each visit builds a shared record.
- Hands-on checks with simple kits and everyday materials; good enough to teach the idea right.
- Teacher time: lesson plans that work with what is available in the school and village.
- Community forum for practical questions on conservation and livelihoods.

Impact
Schools keep using the walks and simple checks after we leave. Notes add up across seasons, and the science begins to belong to the place and its people.
