The Department of Atomic Energy, Department of Science and Technology and the National Council of Science Museums, Government of India, have joined hands to organise a first of its kind unique event called “Vigyan Samagam : Pushing the Frontiers of Science” in four venues of the country in Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata and New Delhi. In this series, the inaugural event was held at the Nehru Science Centre on 8th May, 2019; since then, this exhibition is on display at the centre. Since the opening of the exhibition, more than 90,000 visitors have visited the exhibition.
(Details on the inauguration here.)
The विज्ञान समागम (Vigyan Samagam) has showcased seven mega-science projects in which India is collaborating with other international scientific bodies. The major attraction of the Vigyan Samagam is an exhibition ‘Accelerating Science’ which has travelled all the way from the prestigious internationally acclaimed scientific research institution CERN (European Union of Nuclear Research), Geneva, Switzerland.
The current generation of school students are the future leaders who will be taking active participation in the mega-science projects, therefore, creating awareness about such mega-science projects among them is one of the main important objectives of the ‘Vigyan Samagam: Pushing the frontiers of science’ exhibition. Most of the mega-science projects are in their early stage of development whether they are being set-up or planned or recently started. Therefore, involving current generation school/college students are very pivotal for the future scientific & technological development of our nation. In this context, now it’s the right time to invite school students as well to visit the exhibition because now schools/Junior Colleges have also reopened and students are ready to explore the world cutting edge science through this exhibition.
In this context, a press conference/briefing about this extraordinary event and last one-month successful journey is being organised.
