"Our vision is to continue to expand access to quality STEM education where it has not reached before," said Dr. Hari Babu Kambhampati, Governor of Odisha. "The Boeing Sukanya Program STEM lab and Aeromodeling Training Center at The Kosala School will help nurture a scientific temper that will inspire students to be part of India's burgeoning technology industry."

The Boeing Sukanya Program is implemented in partnership with Learning Links Foundation (LLF), a Boeing Global Engagement nonprofit partner for education and skilling initiatives in India. Earlier in January this year, the Boeing Sukanya Program STEM labs were inaugurated in the Sambalpur, Rairakhol, and Kuchinda districts of Odisha.
Dr. Anjlee Prakash, Chairperson, Learning Links Foundation, said, "We are proud to collaborate with Boeing to bring immersive, hands-on STEM learning to students in Odisha. By creating spaces where young people can explore, question, and experiment, these labs are nurturing curiosity and confidence while strengthening teachers and the broader school ecosystem. Our shared ambition is to inspire more students, especially girls, to see themselves as innovators and pursue pathways to STEM careers."
Launched in 2024 by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, the Boeing Sukanya Program aligns with India's vision to increase women's participation in aviation. As part of the programme, Boeing and LLF continue to establish STEM labs in government schools across India. The programme also offers scholarships to girls to pursue their dream of becoming pilots, helping build a strong talent pipeline to increase women's participation in India's aviation growth.
