Comet Media Foundation or Comet is a non-profit organisation based in Mumbai India. Founded in 1985 it situates itself at the juncture of science technology and society. It makes and distributes media that fosters education social change and sustainability.Our work stems from the understanding is that the educational system in India by and large emphasises learning by rote and discourages creativity. Society as a whole has a distorted idea about the nature of education as memorisation of the textbook. This negates the learners' questions stifles curiosity and prevents them from achieving their true potential. However in recent times particularly after the ideas expressed in the National Curricular Framework (NCF 2005) have become more widely known the trend has reversed. There is much greater public attention to what should be taught to our children and how. There is also less tolerance of excesses such as physical and verbal abuse in the name of building discipline.
