Summary of the talk: Hoshangabad Science Teaching Programme (HSTP) was an innovative program started in the 1970s in the Hoshangabad district of Madhya Pradesh. A group of scientists and educators worked to create a model for school science education that focused on hands-on experimentation and inquiry. They worked on developing their own textbooks, workbooks, science kits for activities, and even their own examinations which were accepted by the Madhya Pradesh state government. Prof. Sadhna was associated with this program for a long time and she will talk about its story from the beginning to the ending (or expanding).
