Meet Our Trustees
My dream is to evolve WAAH organically, without the constant involvement of its founding members. I envision WAAH as a self-sustaining force, growing strong and independent, much like a Giant Banyan tree. I believe that WAAH can be a driving force in India’s development, and I will consider myself a proud Gujarati when that vision is realized.

President, WAAH
To broaden its impact, WAAH collaborated with the Vikram A Sarabhai Community Science Centre (VASCSC) in 2022, aiming to popularize science and promote research in 'Science for Society.' This partnership led to the establishment of WAAH Community Science Centres (WAAH CSCs) and the WAAH Science Laureate Awards.
Our History
WAAH was launched by Shri Praful Amin in the United Kingdom to unite individuals passionate about literature and community service. Initially focused on social work, WAAH soon recognized the need for a scientific perspective within the community. This realization led to the expansion of WAAH's mission to include promoting scientific inquiry alongside community engagement.
In 2015, WAAH began its journey in India, starting in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The organization distributed science activity kits to 231 schools, encouraging a 'learning by doing' approach to foster a scientific mindset among students. WAAH also hosted science competitions and lectures by Prof. Dinesh O. Shah on cutting-edge scientific themes to enhance public understanding of science.
