Chemkit is a miniaturied lab kit containing 50 chemicals, 16 reagents and a number of miniaturized glass apparatus to enable the teachers and students to conduct nearly 100 Chemistry experiments covering the syllabi of standards 6 to 10.

Under the project, launched between 1992-93, we have distributed nearly 35 kits to Corporation Schools and schools in rural areas.

All the teachers and students who used them have certified that with TNF Chemkit, learning chemistry has become interesting and enjoyable.

However, not many schools have opted to make use of the kit mainly because of the fact that they have to pay nearly Rs. 8000 per kit. While the kit costs Rs. 10,000, TN Chapter absorbs Rs. 2000.

We appeal to TNF members to donate $100 per kit to rural schools of their choice. The schools may be persuaded to pay the balance and order one kit, which would benefit about 400 students from 6th to 10th standards.

Hence, with a donation of just $100 per kit we can really convert a dull chemistry class into a bright and interesting one and the kit would be extremely useful for rural schools.
