Prayoga’s Anveshana Program Wins the Nexus of Good Award 2026!




Prayoga is delighted to share that our Anveshana program has received the Nexus of Good Award 2026, a national recognition for initiatives creating meaningful social impact. This honour reflects our commitment to transforming education through research-driven, inquiry-based learning.
Anveshana, India’s first structured science research program for high-school students, empowers young minds to think like scientists by asking questions, experimenting, analysing data and presenting with rigour. Many students, including first-generation learners, have published in international journals and developed patentable ideas, showcasing the program’s growing impact.
This award marks another proud milestone for Prayoga. After last year’s recognition for Kriya, winning the Nexus of Good Award again reinforces our long-term mission of strengthening school education through inquiry and evidence-led innovation.
We extend our gratitude to our donors, partners, mentors, teachers and students for their support and to Shri Anil Swaroop, IAS, and the Nexus of Good initiative for acknowledging the value of research-focused education. Prayoga was represented on 16th November 2025 by Shri B. R. Nagaraj, Shri Praveen Subrahmanyam and Dr. Venkata Krishna Bayineni.
As we celebrate this honour, we remain committed to building pathways where every child can explore, experiment, and discover—because true learning begins with curiosity.

Along with project presentations, poster presentations and viva, every student presented their projects with enthusiasm and zeal. This event not only showcased the remarkable potential of high school students when given the right support and guidance, but also reinforced Prayoga’s commitment to transforming science education through research as a tool of learning. The success of this year’s showcase sets a strong precedent for future editions and highlights the importance of fostering scientific curiosity and independent thinking from an early age. The event concluded with a sense of inspiration and a renewed belief in the capabilities of the next generation of researchers.
