Comet Media Foundation is a voluntary organization working in the area of educational communications in a range of media, since 1985. As part of its communication activities, Comet has been conducting Bal Vividha, an educational resource festival celebrating alternative approaches to learning. The idea behind this effort is to change the way the public and education professionals, look at education itself. Through this festival we seek to promote the idea that learning can be fun, and that it can take place beyond textbooks. It reaches out to parents, teachers, students and school administrators looking for viable options and alternative ways of enhancing the learning experience of children in formal and non-formal settings.
Our upcoming festival will be held at Tilonia, Rajasthan from 18th-20th March, 2005
