ATL was fully sponsored by Atal Innovation Mission under NITI Ayog. ATL provides an enabling environment for students to innovate through a do-it-yourself approach. The lab is equipped with sophisticated machines and instruments such as 3D printers and microcontrollers for honing the technical and innovation related skills of students. Speaking on the occasion, Prakash congratulated the school management and administration for taking up the initiatives to establish such useful schemes in the school for the benefits of the students. The school’s principal, Reji Abraham, while highlighting on the advantages of ATL in schools, he urged the students to make full use of the facilities to become future innovators. He said ATL envisaged creating a platform for every child who has ability to think and convert the ideas to a physical shape. “It’s playground to play and learn science beyond school text books through application based self learning to foster solutions to certain problems,” he added. The inauguration was followed by demonstration of ATL for the special invitees, community leaders and Samaj executives. Ajay Sethi, secretary of school managing committee, and Ashish Bakliwal, ATL vendor and operational head for knowhow3D, spoke on the occasion.
