Our Geo Vidyaa Centres:
GeoVidyaa Geography Centre of Excellence (GVGCE):​
In 2010, Mrs. Manjula Raman, Principal, Army Public School (APS), Kamaraj Road, Bangalore took great interest in TIIGS’s geography education of a different kind – one that makes geography relevant, exciting, and enjoyable for students, connecting geography not only to their own lives but to other subjects they are learning in school. This led to the partnership between TIIGS and APS to establish the GVGCE at the APS campus in October 2010. Since then, we have had many workshops there for teachers and students from APS and many different places.

GeoVidya Geography Centre (GVGC) – Chamarajanagara:
In 2012, during a workshop for geography teachers at Deenabandhu Higher Primary School, Chamarajanagara, Karnataka (run by Deenabandhu Trust), expressed interest in having more systematized geography education activities for teachers and students of that district. These discussions have led to the starting of a GeoVidya GVGC at their teachers’ resource centre on 19 February 2013 with a geography workshop for teachers from Chamarajanagara and Mysore.
