Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan introduced the 'Apna Chandrayaan Programme' on October 17. This initiative revolves around the launch of a dedicated web portal offering a range of educational materials designed to engage and educate school students about India's Chandrayaan mission. The resources include interactive elements such as coloring books, online quizzes, and jigsaw puzzles. Notably, these materials have been thoughtfully crafted by the NCERT (National Council of Educational Research and Training).
Within this comprehensive program, there are ten distinct modules centered around
Chandrayaan-3. These modules provide an in-depth understanding of various facets of the moon mission, spanning scientific, technological, and social dimensions.
The primary objective of these interactive educational materials and specialized modules is to nurture scientific curiosity, promote problem-solving skills, and inspire creativity among school students. The Ministry of Education has expressed a strong commitment to achieving these educational goals, recognizing the importance of fostering an interest in science and technology among the younger generation.
Additionally earlier, the University Grants Commission issued a directive to educational institutions, calling for the initiation of the Chandrayaan-3 Maha Quiz registration process. This quiz has been introduced to provide an opportunity for participants to assess their comprehension of the Chandrayaan-3 mission and the broader field of space science. The primary objective of this quiz is to foster engagement and awareness regarding the nation's endeavors in space exploration. It also seeks to inspire students to delve deeper into the realm of space initiatives. Aspiring participants can complete their registrations on the official website until October 31, 2023.
