The students belonging to government aided schools must have exposure to the state-of-art-facilities on par with the students belonging to the private schools. This is very important for the development of the students.
With the above mentioned objective, the Atal Tinkering Lab was inaugurated on 26th January 2019 in the Ambattur based government aided P.J. Gupta High School. In the year 1936, this school was started and since then it has been providing free and affordable education to the under privileged children in and around Ambattur.
