ATL is an approach of Central government of India to create an environment of scientific
temperament, innovation, creativity amongst Indian Students. It is a step towards a new India.
Since the last few decades, our education system has seen a paradigm shift. Today, with this
approach of inculcating Hands on Methodology in the current education scenario we have
resolved the need of the hour.
ATL lab would teach students essential 21st century skills which will help them in developing
their professional and personal skills. Skilled India is the need of the hour and each step taken
this dream should be welcomed and we should work towards it together for a better India.
Background
The Government of India has setup the Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) at NITI Aayog. Realizing
the need to create scientific temper and cultivate the spirit of curiosity and innovation among
young minds, AIM proposes to support the establishment of a network of Atal Tinkering
Laboratories (ATL). ATL is a workspace where young minds can give shape to their ideas
through hands-on do-it-yourself mode and learn innovation skills. The vision is to cultivate 1
Million children in India as Neoteric Innovators. The Government of India has setup the Atal
