Khagolvani: Bringing the Universe Closer to Every Child

15 Aug, 2025 | IITK News

We’re thrilled to share that Khagolvani, led by the SPASE department at IIT Kanpur, is one of 13 projects globally selected by the International Astronomical Union – Office of Astronomy for Development (IAU-OAD)!

Our mission?

To make astronomy accessible to children from migrant and labour communities across Kanpur and surrounding areas. Through hands-on workshops, telescope observations, educational kits, and school-based astronomy clubs, we aim to spark curiosity, critical thinking, and a scientific spirit where it’s needed most. 

The sky is open to all – and we’re making sure every child gets a chance to explore it.
