LANXESS donates chemistry experiment kits to schools in Jhagadia

Jhagadia, March 11, 2014: LANXESS India Private Limited, the leading specialty chemicals company, as a part of its commitment towards education  and its support towards science education at elementary school level, donated chemistry kits to four schools namely, Kapalsadi school, Fulwadi school, St. Xaviers School and Dewan Dhanjishah High School and College, located near LANXESS site in Jhagadia.

Each chemistry kit consists of an experiment case, a box with additional equipment and instruction manuals. The manuals have description and instructions for conducting ten different experiments. These experiments designed by LANXESS in cooperation with the Department of Teaching and Didactics of Chemistry at the Technical University of Dortmund, are completely safe and focus primarily on the solubility of substances in water. These kits, being portable, are also convenient for schools which do not have science rooms or laboratories. This initiative is a part of LANXESS’ worldwide project, through which 1000 chemistry kits have been donated to elementary schools and educational institutions located close to LANXESS sites.

Commenting on the initiative, Dr. Dattaprasad Talekar, Executive Director and Site Head Jhagadia, LANXESS India Pvt. Ltd. said, “We hope that the ‘Elementary School Chemistry’ experiment kit will prove to be a useful teaching material to nurture children’s curiosity and encourage them to develop an interest in science.”

LANXESS believes that chemistry shapes the world we live in and innovation in chemistry makes the world a better place for generations to come. Moreover, innovation needs scientists, and to become scientists, young people need to develop an interest in sciences at an early age. This initiative from LANXESS, aims to contribute to create this interest, and thus to ensure that future innovation shapes our world better.

LANXESS believes in empowering education and has contributed to NGOs, technical institutions and schools to support education in every region that it operates in.
