'''Vigyan Ashram''' ({{lang-mr|विज्ञान आश्रम}}) is a center of [[Indian Institute of Education]] (IIE) Pune<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/pune-news/indian-institute-of-education-to-kindle-young-minds-through-drone-making-and-3d-printing-workshops/story-mdAVLupOOionQhyHKjQa7I.html|title=Indian Institute of Education to kindle young minds through drone making and 3D printing workshops|date=2018-04-07|website=Hindustan Times|language=en|access-date=2020-03-26}}</ref> established by Dr. S. S. Kalbag in 1983. It's a modern version of the old [[Gurukula]] systems of 'simple living and high thinking'. Vigyan Ashram is located in the village [[Pabal]], approx. {{cvt|70|km}} from [[Pune]]. It is situated on [[Shirur, Maharashtra|Shirur]] Road, [[Rajgurunagar (Khed)|Rajgurunagar]]. Population of [[Pabal]] is 10,000. There are several small hamlets attached to Pabal, which make Pabal central market place. Pabal is drought-prone and is a truly representative Indian village. The idea of establishing Vigyan Ashram at Pabal is whatever they do at Ashram can be replicated in any part of the country.<ref>{{Cite journal|date=2015-06-05|title=Digital Divide and the Aakash Tablet|url=https://www.epw.in/journal/2020/10/perspectives/digital-divide-and-aakash-tablet.html|journal=Economic and Political Weekly|language=en|volume=55|issue=10|pages=7–8}}</ref><br />
