Verma has developed more than six hundred ‘low cost’ physics experiments which teachers can employ in their classrooms. In 2011, he set up the National Anveshika Network of India (NANI), a flagship programme of the [[Indian Association of Physics Teachers]] (IAPT). He is the national coordinator for this programme. There are currently 22 Anveshikas in the country. <ref name=Hindustan /><ref name=Deccan /> | Verma has developed more than six hundred ‘low cost’ physics experiments which teachers can employ in their classrooms.
