As a part of the Government of India initiative to set up the Atal Innovation Mission, the Anjuman I Islam School’s Saif Tyabji Girls’ High School and Junior College has been selected by NITI Ayog for starting the innovative lab in their school. This has been the very first Urdu Girls’ School to have been selected for this project and they have taken the lead to adopt this mission and establish the lab and made it operational as of now.

The lab was inaugurated on September 4 last year by Dr AP Jayaraman, nuclear scientist, who had the privilege of working closely with the former President Dr APJ Kalam. He interacted with the kids and shared his views on robotics and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).

Earlier this month, the NITI Ayog selected the school as a venue school across India for an exclusive three day programme which comprised of a workshop and gender parity dialogue. The event was organised by the Swedish Institute, FICCI Ladies’ organization, and KTH Royal Institute of Technology in collaboration with ATAL Innovation Mission, NITI Ayog.

On December 4, Royal Majesties from Sweden, King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia interacted with the students while they were working on various electronic projects and were very glad to see the students work on the projects so well.
