| Abstract: | We express our profound gratitude to the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), New Delhi, for providing us the opportunity to undertake the present research study entitled “Assessing the Effectiveness of Vigyan Jyoti in Promoting STEM Among Girls in Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas of the Western Region” under the PAC Research Program (2025–26). The successful completion of this study has been possible because of the encouragement, academic support, and institutional cooperation extended by several distinguished individuals and organisations. |
| Description: | The present report examines the effectiveness of the Vigyan Jyoti Program in promoting Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) engagement among girl students enrolled in selected Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, falling under the western regional jurisdiction of the Regional Institute of Education (RIE), Bhopal, a constituent unit of the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT). The study is situated within the wider national and educational concern that, although girls’ access to formal schooling has expanded considerably, their sustained participation in advanced STEM education and STEM-related careers remains disproportionately limited. In this context, the study sought to examine whether participation in the Vigyan Jyoti Program was associated with higher levels of STEM motivation, self-efficacy, critical thinking, problem-solving orientation, and stronger inclination towards STEM subjects and STEM-related career pathways. |
