Science is a study of natural phenomena

and requires a laboratory component
which permits and encourages discovery
and creativity

Problems with Labs

Not available all the time

Expensive (reagents, equipment's)
Hazardous
Every experiment/equipment’s not available
And more……

Solution…

THE BASIC IDEA...

A physical lab or simulator
located remotely is accessed
through the internet
by several remote users.

Advantage of being a Nodal centre
The college will be on a National Map of MHRD undertaken project
under ICT
Will be getting the technical & financial support from IIT-Bombay for
training students, conducting workshops & developing own customized
experiments
Students can undertake the development projects as their academic
project.
As a Nodal centre, the college will be helping other colleges & schools
nearby to spread the knowledge through ICT.
