An Appeal
In September 97, I have set up the Technomathematics Research Foundation (TMRF) with the help of leading Indian and international mathematicians. The TMRF provides so much more than research and routine teaching. It is actively concerned with teacher education, mentoring and encouraging students, providing models for school and college curricula, guidance to teachers and institutions. In the educational area, we are stimulating and encouraging new pedagogy in different projects.
We would like to increase domain of TMRF activities to fulfill the foundation’s objectives. We receive grants from government and private agencies. The Third World Academy of Sciences, Italy, has given financial support for our library and software. They support us because we have proven our ability to provide high-quality effective programmes in India.
Unfortunately, these funding agencies rarely accept the full financial responsibility for programmes and typically fund roughly up to two-thirds of the total funds needed. Therefore, our programmes need support from multiple funding sources to survive. These sources include receiving multiple grants for one project, as well as support from individuals. In our case, success in expanding programs and services and in making good use of former grant funds has led us to another challenge.
The TMRF, presently located in one small office in Kolhapur, is planning to purchase a suitable plot of land for the construction of institute building in Kolhapur. It is proposed to build two lecture halls, a library, office space and a computer lab in the first phase. To meet the challenge of our expanded efforts to impact mathematics education and improve students’ experiences and learning of mathematical sciences we need additional resources.
Please show us you care and want us to keep working to advance mathematics and mathematical science education in India. With your support we can raise funds needed to fully support our existing programs.
I solemnly pledge that every rupee of your donation will be utilized gainfully for the cause for which it is donated.
