An Atal Tinkering Lab grant buys equipment. It doesn't guarantee a lab that's still running in Year 2. The hard part — a teacher who can run it, kits that work on the devices you actually have, support in a language your staff speaks — is exactly what Grobots is built for. We've done it across 40+ government schools already.
The Atal Tinkering Lab establishment grant of up to ₹20 lakh from the Atal Innovation Mission covers lab setup and equipment. The Grobots STEM Lab is built around the ATL equipment framework — we help map a configuration that fits within the grant's allowed heads.
Most robotics labs are designed for a well-staffed private school with new computers. Government schools are a different world — and Grobots is engineered for it.
The Virtual Master Trainer gives a video for every lesson in English and Hindi, and the block coding itself runs in Hindi, Marathi, and Gujarati. A teacher in a vernacular-medium school can actually follow and deliver it.
The kits work across tablet, Windows, and Raspberry Pi. No dependence on a roomful of new computers the school doesn't own and the grant can't always cover.
Where a school genuinely has no one to run the lab, Grobots can place a trained onsite resource person — so the program doesn't stall on a staffing gap.
If your school falls into any of these, there's a Grobots configuration built for your funding and your constraints.
Setting up or refreshing an ATL under the AIM grant. We configure a STEM Lab around the ATL framework and the equipment heads it allows — and make sure it's actually used after installation.
PM SHRI and government schools modernising their labs get a program that fits constrained budgets, runs on existing devices, and is supported in the language the staff teaches in.
If a corporate or foundation is funding the lab, we work with the CSR team on scale, deployment, and an impact framework. See the CSR programs.
Rolling out across many schools at once? We've done city-wide government deployments and can plan logistics, training, and reporting across the whole cohort.
The Umang initiative brought Grobots labs to government schools across Nagpur — delivered in partnership with the Nagpur Municipal Corporation and a partner organisation. It's the clearest evidence that the model works where it's hardest: real government schools, real constraints, a lab that runs.
