Dhātu, Prayoga’s new initiative focused on nurturing deep conceptual understanding of mathematics, was unveiled on 9th May 2025 at the Prayoga campus in Bengaluru. Turing Award winner Prof. Jeffrey D. Ullman introduced the Gradiance platform, highlighting the innovative Root Question Method designed to deepen students' engagement with mathematics.
The launch was graced by several distinguished guests, including Dr. Abhay Karandikar, Secretary, Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. Guests witnessed a live demonstration of the platform and its capabilities in promoting learner-centric, self-assessed mathematics learning.
Through Dhātu, Prayoga aims to empower students in Grades 9–12 to engage deeply with mathematics, build strong problem-solving skills, and develop a lasting love for the subject.

This quarter marked key milestones for Prayoga, including a grant from the SBI Foundation and FCRA renewal. Partnerships with industries and educational institutions were strengthened, and Prerana events and Anveshana 2025 were launched. Our Prayoga family also grew with 17 new members, driving forward our mission.

Anveshana 2025 has taken off with an inspiring start, bringing together bright young minds from across eight states to embark on an extraordinary research journey. With 50 talented students selected for this opportunity, the program immerses them in an environment where they can explore their research interests under the guidance of experienced mentors. Through hands-on learning, critical thinking, and perseverance, these budding researchers will not only sharpen their analytical skills but also develop the scientific mindset necessary to navigate the unpredictable nature of research. We look forward to our young researchers of Anveshana 2025 who will shape the future of science and beyond.

On March 26, 2025, the SIP team organized a Prerana Workshop, engaging students from GHPS Yelechakanahalli, Mandya, in Mathematics and Earth Science activities. The session included hands-on learning experiences such as understanding the significance of π (Pi) in a circle and determining factors in Mathematics. In Earth Science, students conducted a Water Percolation Experiment, analyzing soil absorption and filtration by recording data and plotting graphs. They also explored volcanic activity through a Volcanic Eruption Model, simulating eruptions and learning about underlying scientific principles. The workshop successfully fostered curiosity, critical thinking, and experiential learning among students.
