With generous support from Sir Dorabji Tata Trust the Academy established a modest life science laboratory. The Academy now offers both in house and mobile hands on technology workshops both in lab medicine and life science.

For maximal utilization of our intellectual capital it is necessary to extend the benefits of modern science and technology to hither to grossly neglected rural sector. Academy’s two special educational programs focused on the rural sector, which still accounts for about 70% of India’s population, are (a) Discovering Little Scientists and (b) Science for Little Scientists.
