KVRSS Outreach HighlightsAbout KVRSS
Dr. K. V. Rao Scientific Society (KVRSS) was established in 2001 in memory of Dr. K. V. Rao, a distinguished scientist of the Geological Survey of India, Hyderabad, who was a strong advocate of multidisciplinary research. For over 26 years, KVRSS has been committed to fostering scientific temper and promoting STEM education among students from school children to young researchers below the age of 30, nurturing the next generation of scientific talent.
Through a wide range of initiatives, including research awards for young scientists in Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and Mathematics; and for school children, various science competitions; concept teaching through innovation centres and mobile science labs, we have impacted over 100,000 students. KVRSS provides unique platforms for young minds to explore and excel in STEM fields, encouraging creativity, critical thinking, and scientific innovation.
With the establishment of the Science Innovation Centre and the Mobile Science Lab, students now have opportunities to learn science through hands-on experiments and interactive demonstrations. To multiply this impact, KVRSS also launched the “Teach The Teacher” programme, which equips educators with practical, activity-based STEM teaching methods. Teachers from around 12 schools have already benefited from these workshops.
Over the past 26 years, KVRSS has emerged as a leading Non-Governmental Organization dedicated to the advancement of science across India. With a proven track record of impactful programs, KVRSS now aims to expand its outreach, strengthen collaborations, establish additional Science Innovation Centres, and build robust mentorship programmes that inspire young minds to pursue excellence in STEM. At KVRSS, we believe in building a lifelong "Friendship with Science" by making STEM education accessible, engaging, and inspiring for every learner.

Impact of KVRSS
Starting with three students participating for Research Awards in 2001 to more than 10,000 students participating annually, KVRSS has steadily increased the number of events and extended the coverage, both at school and research level over the years. Starting with Andhra Pradesh and moving to cover the southern states and then encompassing pan India, KVRSS is now an established Society working towards science popularisation and promotion.
Two major projects of KVRSS fructified in 2021-22. The Science Innovation Centre (KVRSS-SIC) and Mobile Science Lab (KVRSS-MSL). The two projects have been envisaged to give school students a fun - filled and hands-on experience in learning the concepts of Science and are aimed at particularly those schools which lack adequate lab facilities, both government and private. The innovation Centre is located in KVRSS office and caters to school students in the nearby areas whereas, Mobile Science Lab is designed to cater to schools in and around Hyderabad. These two facilities support about 7000 students annually in the learning of concepts in Science.
