What is Local Gyan?

The world has become glocal but the curriculum hasn't. We at Local Gyan compliment classroom learning by bringing science, history, maths, economics, civics, culture, and ecology alive in the city through bunch of workshops curated specifically for children to learn from their surroundings.
