Pune: At an age when most children are busy playing, siblings Jainam (12) and Jivika (9) from Dubai have launched a unique initiative to spread scientific awareness across India, all while incorporating teachings from their Jain faith.
Originally hailing from Malegaon, a small village in Maharashtra, these young innovators are leveraging their love for science and the internet to educate others.
Now settled in Dubai, Jainam and Jivika, with the support of their parents, have taken on the challenge of making science accessible and engaging for young minds. Their journey began with a deep-rooted respect for their Indian heritage and a desire to give back to their homeland.
Armed with knowledge and a sense of purpose, they embarked on a 50-day tour across various cities and villages in India, conducting science awareness programs that have been met with enthusiastic responses.
Their initiative, which also includes a popular YouTube channel "JJ Fun Time" with over 100,000 subscribers, is not just about science but also about instilling cultural values.
As they conduct these programs, Jainam and Jivika share the wisdom of Jain teachings, making their efforts a blend of education and tradition.
Their father, Dhiraj Jain, who moved to Dubai for business, emphasized the role of technology in their success, pointing out how mobile devices and AI have become crucial tools in modern education.
The children's dedication has led to the creation of over 400 educational videos, making a significant impact on their audience.
As they near the completion of their goal of 100 programs, the young duo has expressed their determination to continue their mission, ensuring that their message reaches not just India but the world.
