In a generous move to support science education, a former chairperson of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) has donated laboratory equipment to her alma mater, a school in Mumbai. The donation, which includes microscopes, glassware, and other scientific instruments, aims to enhance the practical learning experience for students.
The former NSE chair, who wished to remain anonymous, stated that the donation was a way to give back to the institution that shaped her early education. The school's principal expressed gratitude, noting that the equipment would benefit hundreds of students in their science classes.
This initiative is part of a broader trend of alumni contributing to educational infrastructure in India, with similar donations reported in other cities. The equipment was officially handed over in a ceremony on June 28, 2026, attended by school staff and local education officials.
