Jigyasa, a student- scientist connect programme was officially launched in the national capital today. Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), has joined hands with Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) to implement this programme. The focus is on connecting school students and scientists so as to extend student’s classroom learning with that of a very well planned research laboratory based learning. The program enables the students and teachers to practically live the theoretical concepts taught in science by visiting CSIR laboratories and by participating in mini-science projects. The model of engagement includes

• Student Residential Programs

• Scientists as Teachers and Teachers as Scientists

• Visits of Scientists to Schools/Outreach

• Popular Lecture Series/ demonstration program at Schools

• Science Exhibition

• Teacher Workshops
