Project Description
SEBLA is a pilot effort started by India Sudar in 2011-2012. The initial scope of the project is to work with government schools in Tirpur and Karur districts of Tamil Nadu (TN), India. The main mode of instruction is through simple experiments that demonstrate scientific principles covered in the syllabus for grades 6th-8th.

In the year 2011-2012, Asha Stanford is supporting the effort by providing funds for educational material and salaries for 4 teachers. Additionally, Asha Stanford is working with India Sudar to define better metrics to track and measure the impact of the project.
Short-Term Objectives

* To create awareness on importance and method of learning science for middle and high school students in rural areas and urban slums.

* Reaching out to about 10,000 students in Karur and Tirupur districts

5-Year Vision

* Extend the project to other districts, and across the country gradually. Prepare a team that can organize training for needy students across schools in India.

* Conduct science conferences exclusively for Govt. school students to encourage them to learn science and implement their own ideas in science.
India Sudar's vision: Developing a Powerful India by Providing Education. The organization partners with government schools and educational blocks at the village level to improve the quality of education by undertaking efforts such as funding additional qualified teachers, establishing learning centers, providing scholarships to students and conducting seminars and science events.
