Labs that keep working in the schools that need them most.
Anylan Foundation sets up and runs STEM labs (Robotics, AI and innovation labs) in government schools across Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, with trained teachers, on-site support and audit-ready impact reports for every CSR partner.
Same blocks, same logic, in the language the child thinks in.

Intelligence is equally spread. Exposure isn't.
A child in a village school in Madhya Pradesh is as curious and capable as any child in a metro. Give them the chance to wire a circuit, program a robot or train a simple AI model, and their talent shows itself.
Every child has potential.
No child is "not a tech kid". Given the chance, every child can build, code and create.
Talent is everywhere. Exposure isn't.
Intelligence is spread equally across villages and cities. Opportunity is not, and that's the gap we close.
Language is not a barrier to learning.
Block coding works in Hindi, Marathi and English, so children learn logic in the language they think in.

How we keep a school STEM lab working after year one
A lab is a system, not a box of kits. Most school labs stop working because nobody planned for Year 2. Every Anylan lab runs on the same six-part operating model.

Offline-first by design
Every kit runs without internet. Lessons, coding tools and student work stay on the school's own devices.
Blocks in your own language
Block coding in Hindi, Marathi or English lets a child in Ujjain or Nagpur learn logic first. Text coding in Python comes later, in English.
Real blocks from a Grade 5 lesson. Same block, same logic.
Privacy and power, handled
Children's data stays on campus, in line with India's DPDP Act. Where power is unreliable, labs are planned with solar backup.
STEM labs for government schools, funded through CSR
One partner for every kind of school lab. Each solution is a complete program: setup, teacher training, curriculum, support and measurement.
Robotics & AI Lab
A grade-wise journey from first gears to real AI projects. 40-minute lessons that fit the timetable, video lessons for every session, student workbooks from Grade 5, and a trainer who keeps it running.

CSR impact reports you can measure, not just photograph
Every CSR partner gets regular reports on their program: schools, sessions, attendance, and how students' skills change from baseline to endline. Below is a sample of what they show.
- Baseline, midline and endline skill assessments
- Attendance and lab usage, school by school
- Board-ready reports and a utilisation certificate

Why CSR teams choose Anylan Foundation
We answer the hard questions before you ask them: four questions every CSR leader asks before funding a school lab.
01Is the partner compliant?
The concernRegulatory or audit gaps that put CSR spend at risk.
Our answerCSR-1, 12A, 80G and NGO Darpan registered. Three years of audited financials. Every program aligned to Schedule VII (ii).
02Will the lab still run in Year 2?
The concernEquipment locked in a store room. Power cuts in rural schools.
Our answerA resource person on site, teacher training before every lab opens, video lessons in Hindi, local repairs and spares, and solar backup where the grid can't be trusted.
03Is student data safe?
The concernPlatforms collecting children's data without parental consent, a liability under the DPDP Act, 2023.
Our answerEvery kit works offline, so lessons and student work stay on the school's own tablets, Raspberry Pi or Windows computers.
04Can impact be proven?
The concernNo monitoring framework, so no defensible impact story for the board.
Our answerBaseline, midline and endline assessments, audit-ready learning metrics and photo-documented reports.

STEM labs and CSR: common questions
What is a STEM lab?
A STEM lab is a space where students learn science, technology, engineering and maths by doing. It can be a science and maths lab, with hands-on models that show principles such as levers, light and magnetism, or a lab where students build and code robots, invent, or work with AI. Anylan Foundation sets up both kinds in government schools, with teacher training and on-site support.
Can CSR funds be used for a STEM lab in a government school?
Yes. Promoting education is listed under Schedule VII (ii) of the Companies Act, 2013. Anylan Foundation is registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs to implement CSR projects (CSR-1: CSR00096762), holds 12A and 80G approvals, and has three years of audited financials.
Which STEM labs does Anylan Foundation set up?
Science & Maths Labs, Robotics & AI Labs, Innovation & Tinkering Labs, AI programs for schools, Smart Classrooms, Composite Skills Labs for CBSE schools, ICT labs and STEM workshops. Mobile Science, Astronomy & Space and Solar Mobile Robotics labs are also available.
Do students need to know English or have internet?
No, not to start. Block coding works in Hindi, Marathi or English, and every kit works offline on tablets, Raspberry Pi or Windows computers. Text coding in Python, in the higher grades, is in English.
Where does Anylan Foundation work?
Mainly in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, in government and low-resource schools. We also take on programs in Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. Anylan Foundation is based in Indore, Madhya Pradesh.
Can a CSR partner choose the schools or district?
Yes. We shortlist schools through a needs assessment, or work in a district of your choice. You approve the final list.
