Urmila Steam & Social Foundation
Urmila STEAM & Social Foundation is an India-based Section 8 non-profit organization founded in 2025 with a core mission to democratize education through the power of technology, innovation, and community collaboration. At our heart, we believe that education is not a privilege—it is a right. Our foundation was born out of a collective vision to bridge the vast educational divide that exists between urban and rural India, and to ensure that no child is left behind in the age of digital and technological advancement.
The name “Urmila” embodies Upliftment through Resources, Innovation, Mentorship, Learning, and Accessibility. These five pillars guide everything we do—from policy alignment and program design to on-ground implementation and social impact measurement.
Healthcare & Wellness
We provide free health checkups, essential medicines, and medical support to underserved rural families where hospitals are out of reach.
Education
Our mission is to equip every child in rural India with STEAM-based learning tools, mentorship, and access to digital education for a brighter future.
Our STEAM Labs are immersive, interactive spaces where students engage with real-world problems using science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. These labs are equipped with microcontrollers, 3D printers, circuit kits, robotics components, and digital interfaces to make learning hands-on, joyful, and inquiry-driven.
We provide end-to-end smart classroom solutions, integrating digital boards, interactive panels, learning management systems, e-content libraries, and teacher development tools.
Our work with Anganwadi centers focuses on early childhood care and education (ECCE). We upgrade learning environments, introduce play-based digital content, and train caregivers.
BALA (Building as Learning Aid) is an initiative to convert walls, floors, and open spaces into visual learning tools. We implement creative educational art in schools and Anganwadis to reinforce curriculum content.
Under the NITI Aayog initiative, we establish and manage ATLs to encourage innovation in school students. These labs nurture problem-solving, ideation, and prototyping.
We offer modular robotics education programs from primary to senior secondary levels. Students are introduced to coding, sensors, automation, and machine learning basics.
Our astronomy modules introduce young learners to celestial phenomena and scientific temper through telescopic observations, planetarium sessions, and guided science experiments.
We deliver short and long-term skill-building programs in areas such as digital literacy, tailoring, electrical work, carpentry, and agro-entrepreneurship for youth and women.
