posted on May 28, 2026

We are proud to share that *Yajat Keshan of Class-10, Shiksha Valley School*, was selected for *YUVIKA 2026* held at ISRO, Bengaluru from 11th to 21st May 2026.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) organises the *“Young Scientist Programme”* also known as *“YUva VIgyani KAryakram” (YUVIKA)* to impart basic knowledge on Space Technology, Space Science, and Space Applications to young students. The programme aims to create awareness about emerging trends in space science and technology and to encourage students to pursue careers in STEM fields. ISRO’s vision is to “Catch them young” and nurture the future building blocks of our nation.

During the 11-day residential programme, participants attended interactive sessions with eminent ISRO scientists, hands-on workshops, lab visits, and demonstrations on satellites, rockets, and space applications. The camp also included facility tours at ISRO centres, telescope viewing, model-making, and group projects designed to spark scientific curiosity.

Yajat represented our school with dedication and enthusiasm, bringing back valuable knowledge and inspiration. His selection is a matter of great pride for the school community.

We congratulate Yajat and wish him continued success in his scientific pursuits.
