A citizens' initiative catalyzing scientific culture and fostering innovation across India
Navodaya Foundation is a citizens' initiative born from the conviction that scientific thinking and innovation should permeate every level of society.
Founded by a group of visionary scientists, educators, and industry leaders, the foundation works at the intersection of academia, industry, and civil society to foster a culture of inquiry, collaboration, and evidence-based problem solving.
We believe that true progress happens when institutions break silos and work together — when apex research centres collaborate with emerging colleges, when industry meets academia, and when citizens actively participate in the scientific enterprise.
To create a citizens' initiative to catalyze a scientific culture in the society — building a world where scientific temper drives progress, policy, and daily life. We envision a society where every citizen appreciates the power of research, innovation, and evidence-based thinking.
