PROJECT TITLE: Aims School Teaching Assistance Project-2 Report: Our Aims School Teaching Assistance project -2 is going on well in our schools. Our teachers are taking special care to improve educational skills and other activities for our poor students in their schools as regularly. 20 days were the month of working days. . Our teachers are taking special care to improve educational skills and other activity for poor students in their schools as regularly. Our project is going in government school only. We are working in 12 schools in this project. Twelve teachers & more of 800 students are benefited by this project. We (Mr.Deejo, Nasrin begam &I) had conducted the monthly planning meeting in my home on 01/02/2015. In that day we had planned to conduct our work as usually. Story telling (Kathai cholli) program was conducted in our all school. Based upon our monthly planning, we conducted Aims India Ecology in our schools in this month. We are continuing our work in our schools as well as possible.

The title of the training subject is water pollution

1. Indian Space Research Organization The Indian Space Research organization is the primary space agency of India. Its primary objective is to advance space technology and use its applications for national benefit. Established in 1969, ISRO superseded the erstwhile Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR). Headquartered in Bangalore, ISRO is under the administrative control of the Department of Space, Government of India. 2. Chandrayaan-1, India's first mission to Moon was launched successfully on October 22, 2008 from SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota. The spacecraft was orbiting around the Moon at a height of 100 km from the lunar surface for chemical, mineralogical and photo-geologic mapping of the Moon. The spacecraft carries 11 scientific instruments built in India, USA, UK, Germany, Sweden and Bulgaria. After the successful completion of all the major mission objectives, the orbit has been raised to 200 km during May 2009.

3. : Mars Orbiter Mission is India's first interplanetary mission to planet Mars with an orbiter craft designed to orbit Mars in an elliptical orbit. The Mission is primarily technological mission considering the critical mission operations and stringent requirements on propulsion and other bus systems of spacecraft. It has been configured to carry out observation of physical features of mars and carry out limited study of Martian atmosphere with following five payloads: 1. Mars Colour Camera (MCC) 2. Thermal Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (TIS) 3. Methane Sensor for Mars (MSM) 4. Mars Exospheric Neutral Composition Analyser (MENCA) 5. Lyman Alpha Photometer (LAP)
