MANAK is a free and innovative online platform for showcasing scientific and technological excellence in education. It provides an opportunity for students from class 6 to 12 to showcase their learning through a creative medium and receive recognition at the national level. The main objective of MANAK is to promote innovation in education and provide a unique opportunity for students to learn about new ideas in a professional and creative environment.

The idea of developing this innovative platform came to life when the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the National Innovation Foundation (NIF) were founded with the objective of promoting innovation in education.
