Vigyan Ashram Fablab

In English “Vigyan” means ‘Search of Truth’ and “Ashram” symbolizes ‘Simple living and high thinking for us, an organization where all are equal, a modern version of the old Gurukul system’. Vigyan Ashram (Marathi: विज्ञान आश्रम) is a learning center for the contemplation and study of ancient Indian philosophy belonging to the Indian Institute of Education (IIE) Pune,[2] established by Dr. S. S. Kalbag in 1983. It's a modern version of the old Gurukula system of 'simple living and high thinking'. Vigyan Ashram is located in the village Pabal, approx. 70 km (43 mi) from Pune. It is situated on Shirur Road, Rajgurunagar. The population of Pabal is around 10,000. There are several small hamlets attached to Pabal, which make Pabal the central marketplace for the region. Pabal is drought-prone and truly representative of a template Indian village. The idea of establishing Vigyan Ashram at Pabal was to design a blueprint template of the highest principles presented systematically and logically to modern intellects so that everyone can be equipped with knowledge of life and living. Meaning that whatever the participants practice and do at the Ashram can be replicated in any part of the country.
