Anuj Sinha , Director Vigyan Prasar announced that the science clubs in the schools may be activated. Vigyan Prasar, an autonomous body under the Department of Science and Technology, is considering of  launching  a number of initiatives to make science more meaningful, both for children and adults. While  speaking  in Children Science Academy awards  function in Chennai on Friday he said “We have 12,000 schools who are members of our network. But, in most schools science clubs only act as sign board,” He To start with, it is working to make the member schools of VIPNET (Vigyan Prasar Network) Science Club more active. He said that the schools would be provided with manuals; English manuals would be ready by June or July. The manuals would provide help in terms of starting, managing, reporting, among other aspects, a science club.

For the rural community, the department is envisaging ways so that issues of climate change and bio-diversity are understood better. Similarly, for the tribal community it plans to bring out booklets in the local language about issues affecting them. Through all these efforts we are trying to integrate these sections of our society into making informed decision thus promoting science,” said Mr. Sinha.
