ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

What is Antriksh?

The Antriksh Programme is a structured astronomy and space science initiative designed to nurture space-mindedness among students.

It goes beyond textbooks to combine theoretical understanding with experiential learning, enabling students to explore celestial phenomena, develop observational skills, and engage with real-world scientific tools.

Through this programme, students begin to think beyond Earth-developing a broader perspective of science, space, and their place in the universe.
