New Delhi, Oct. 10 -- Delhi Education minister Ashish Sood and former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan on Saturday inaugurated a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) laboratory at CM Shri School in Janakpuri, aimed at giving students access to practical, technology-based learning.
The facility has been established under the Shikhar Dhawan Foundation's STEM Shiksha initiative, with corporate social responsibility (CSR) support from Sportskeeda. The inauguration was held under the Delhi government's Seva Sankalp Abhiyan.
The laboratory marks the expansion of the foundation's Digital Shiksha programme, which focuses on improving access to technology-enabled education in government schools.
Sood said the initiative would help students move beyond conventional classroom learning and prepare for future opportunities.
"STEM Labs are an important step in this direction, enabling students to move beyond textbook learning and learn through experience, exploration and experimentation," he said.
Dhawan, chairperson of Da One Group and founder of the Shikhar Dhawan Foundation, said the initiative aimed to make technology-based education accessible to more students.
He also expressed gratitude to the Delhi government for supporting the STEM Shiksha programme.
