Third Technical Hindi Symposium (Takniki Hindi Sangoshthi) “Abhyuday-3” organised at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Indore. The two-day symposium is concluded today. The program was jointly organised by IIT Indore, IIT Jodhpur and the CSIR-National Institute of Science Communication and Policy Research (CSIR–NIScPR). The symposium aims to promote the use of Technical Hindi and to strengthen the outreach of science and technology to wider sections of society.

In the inaugural session, the symposium souvenir and other publications were released. Director of IIT Indore highlighted the importance of Technical Hindi, the role of effective science communication, and the need to connect research and innovation with the general public.

On this occasion, Shri C. B. Singh, Chief Scientist, CSIR-NIScPR, emphasised the development of Technical Hindi, the significance of effective science communication, and the necessity of taking research and innovation to broader sections of society. He also highlighted the contributions and continuous efforts of CSIR-NIScPR in disseminating scientific knowledge in the Hindi language including publication of Hindi popular science magazine “VigyanPragati” since 1952.

Shri Singh noted that such platforms play a vital role in building a strong bridge between science, technology and societal concerns, and serve as an effective medium for taking scientific ideas to the public in their own language.

During the programme, invited lectures were organised on themes related to science, engineering, digital technologies and innovation. Two paper presentation sessions were also held, where 25 participants presented their research and ideas in Hindi language.

A cultural evening was organised on the first day, featuring a folk song performance by Padma Shri Bhehru Singh Chauhan. This was followed by a Vigyan Kavi Sammelan (Science Poets’ Meet), where science poets from different parts of the country presented themes of science, technology, innovation and social concerns through poetic expression, creating a meaningful dialogue between science and society. Renowned writer and science communication expert Shri Santosh Choubey chaired the Vigyan Kavi Sammelan session.
