Abstract : Universalizing the Universe" was a slogan given during IYA 2009 by the People's Science Movement (PSM) in India. Universalization of good quality education, the Right To Education Act 2009 and NCF 2005 set up the mandate , a challenge and a framework for attempting this. I will describe the efforts of the Navnirmiti team to develop and use Daytime Astronomy pedagogy and work with PSM campaigns towards this objective.
