"subtitle": "The Hoshangabad Science Teaching Programme (HSTP) was initiated in rural middle schools (class 6 to 8) of Madhya Pradesh in the seventies as a response to the dismal state of teaching of science in the country.\
\
The project was initially implemented in 16 schools in 1972 and later scaled up to 250 schools in Hoshangabad district in 1978. In 1982, a new organisation called Eklavya was set up to consolidate, strengthen, and expand the HSTP.\
\
Eklavya, which had a wider mandate of developing similar innovations in other subject areas, seeded HSTP in 13 other districts of the state.\
\
On July 3, 2002, the Government of Madhya Pradesh shut down the HSTP without assigning any reason for its abrupt decision.\
\
At the time of its closure, around 10,000 students in over 800 schools in 15 districts of Madhya Pradesh were learning science the HSTP way. Over 3,000 teachers had undergone a series of trainings of unprecedented rigour and depth during the lifetime of the programme. Many hundreds of resource persons from across the country had also been oriented into its methodology and objectives, thus enabling HSTP to serve as a blueprint for seeding innovative interventions in science education in many other states.\
\
HSTP was closed but Eklavya continues to do good work.\
