About Scienspur


Scienspur is an idea initiated by Post-doctoral fellows and biotech industry professionals to provide STEM education to economically disadvantaged students attending public funded colleges and universities in India. Scienspur aims to nourish the scientific curiosity in students by teaching fundamental concepts and introducing emerging areas in science. The Lakshmi Mittal & Family South Asian Institute at Harvard University has generously funded this initiative. The Scienspur program is purely a nonprofit operation offering courses to undergraduate/master's students at no cost. The mentors of the program are volunteering in their free time.

Our Mission


We aim to provide access to STEM education that will equip the students to become globally competitive to pursue their dreams in higher education. We select students from disadvantaged background and attending public funded schools and colleges, and provide them with additional advanced courses with no tuition. These courses will pave a way for the students to attend best universities for higher education. We believe that the successful beneficiaries will contribute to research and innovation through their creativity and ingenuity in various fields of science and technology. We also believe that this will lay a strong foundation, in the long run, for creating a society with scientific awareness to find solutions for the problems that will improve the living standards and health.

Our Team

The mentoring team at Scienspur are active researchers from various fields of sciences. The mentors are volunteering to teach young undergraduate/master's students. The team is motivated to transfer knowledge and nurture scientific curiosity to generate young leaders.

Our Teaching Philosophy

We envision a hybrid method of teaching the scientific discoveries integrated with research methods that made them possible. Through this kind of story telling we hope to stimulate interest in asking important questions that will address critical problems.
