In the pursuit of nurturing creativity and innovation among young students, the Government of India, under the flagship program of the Atal Innovation Mission (AIM), introduced the Atal Tinkering Labs (ATL) initiative. Launched in 2016 by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, this program aims to instill a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship across the nation.
ATL represents a visionary approach to education. It seeks to empower students by providing them access to state-of-the-art technology and tools, creating a conducive environment for learning, experimenting, and innovating. This initiative, born out of a commitment to transform India into a global innovation hub, stands as a beacon of hope for young minds. One of the primary goals of ATL is to bridge the technological gap among students from different educational backgrounds. It offers a level playing field by bringing cutting-edge technology to government schools as well as private schools.
To initiate the process of establishing an Atal Tinkering Lab (ATL) in their institution, schools can follow a straightforward online application procedure via the designated button provided below.
Eligibility criteria for schools seeking to set up ATLs encompass those managed by the government, local bodies, or private trusts/societies, catering to students ranging from at least Grade VI to Grade X.
Upon selection, the Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) extends a grant-in-aid package that encompasses both a one-time establishment fund of Rs. 10 lakh and operational funding of Rs. 10 lakh. This financial support is granted for a maximum duration of 5 years.
