DARKSKYINITIATIVE

ABOUT US

Hey!
My name is Aditya Choksi
I'm an 11th grade student currently attending Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mumbai. I've always been fascinated by space and it's limitless possibilities and with this project, I want to take that passion further.
​
This issue is one that's extremely close to my heart and I am very keen on finding a solution. I truly believe that a full, starry night sky is something each and every person should have access to and that it is one of nature's treasures to be protected. Let's work together to solve this problem and ignite an interest for astronomy in the Indian youth.

I have participated in various competitions revolving around astrophysics at the international level.

Hello there!
My name is Anandini Mitra
Currently studying at Oberoi International School, I am an 11th grade student who is extremely passionate about all things related to astrophysics. When living in Bahrain, I was introduced to the universe and I have never looked since then. From then onwards, I have always considered that it is just me and my telescope against the world.
This project means a lot to me as this is an issue that has not gained a lot of traction, yet affects every single citizen. I would love to take up this challenge, and find a solution that truly is effective.
As Neil deGrasse Tyson rightly said, "I think of space not as the final frontier but as the next frontier. Not as something to be conquered but to be explored."
I have previously been published in The Economic Times for my social project receiving a global grant.
