About
Krishna Lala is a dedicated researcher and educator whose work lies at the intersection of engineering education, robotics, and inclusive learning. Her most cited paper, "Building Inclusiveness in a PBL Based Online Robotics Competition: Challenges and Outcomes" (2016, 6 citations), explores how the e-Yantra Robotics Competition (eYRC) uses Project-Based Learning (PBL) to democratize access to robotics training. Lala’s major contribution is in designing scalable, online platforms that enable students from diverse backgrounds—especially those with limited resources—to engage in hands-on, project-based learning over several months. Her research highlights the challenges and outcomes of fostering inclusiveness in technical competitions, showing how structured mentorship and step-by-step implementation can bridge educational gaps. While her citation count is modest, the impact of her work is profound in the context of engineering pedagogy, as it provides a replicable model for integrating PBL into large-scale, remote learning environments. Lala’s efforts have helped shape eYRC into a pioneering initiative that reaches thousands of students annually, making her a key figure in advancing equitable access to robotics education in India and beyond.
