The Government of India had started the Atal Tinkering Lab (ATL) initiative in order to develop the interest amongst the students and help them flourish. Under the scheme by the Central government, country’s first ATL was started at Mumbai’s Vivekanand Education Society’s Vivekanand English School situated at Kurla.
The first-of-its-kind lab was inaugurated by Vinod Kamble, Minister of State for Social Justice and Special Assistance on August 3.
After the inauguration, the students made devices similar to Smoke Sensor, 3-D Printer, Soldering Station, Aqua Alarm, 360 Degree Safety, Secure Smart. For the creation of these devices, the students were assisted by the teachers. Since the ATL in Kurla’s Vivekanand School is the first lab in Mumbai, the NITI Aayog (National Institution of Transforming India) will provide a fund of ₹20 lakh to the school.

The students will learn to create machines and equipment of their own through the lab. In addition, the students will be taught to make robots, computers along with advanced vehicles such as tanks and ships by the experts.
VES High School principal, Asha Binukumar said,
All the students have been working hard for the last three months for the lab. The motive of the lab is to ensure that the students get to learn more in less time. Alongside, the students will also learn to create more than 750 types of artistic things through the scanner and 3-D printer.”
