CSIR Jigyasa is a student connect program, an initiative taken up by CSIR. Developing scientific temper amongst school children has been a mission of this program.
Prime Minister and President CSIR Narendra Modi at various fora has urged empowerment of school students with scientific curiosity and scientific temperament/entrepreneurship.
Connecting all students across the country from urban or rural on digital/virtual mode in regional language has been emphasized regularly. CSIR is launching Jigyasa Version 2 in a virtual mode to take forward this agenda.
CSIR-NCL will lead the project on behalf of CSIR and all CSIR laboratories will equally support in making the challenging project a reality in the coming years. CSIR is thus widening and deepening its Scientific Social Responsibility further with the programme.
Dignitaries including CSIR Director General DSIR Secretary Dr Shekhar Mande, CSIR-NCL Director (Additional Charge) Dr. Srivari Chandrasekhar, IITB Director Prof Subhasis Chaudhuri, HRDG Head Arunashis Chakraborty were present during the virtual event.
