Vigyan Ashram is a center of Indian Institute Of Education (IIE) Pune.  A scientist turned educationalist Late Dr.S.S.Kalbag started Vigyan Ashram in 1983 to find out solution to the problems in education.

For us “Vigyan” means ‘Search of Truth’ and “Ashram” symbolises ‘Simple living and High thinking for us, a organization where all are equal, it’s a modern version of old Gurukul system’

Over the year Vigyan Ashram develops a complete program for giving training to the youth in rural and urban areas. Vigyan Ashram developed several innovative technologies and successfully commercialized them by training school dropouts.

To increase the pace and quality of our education delivery system, ashram adopted new information technology.
