India Science (www.indiascience.in) is an Internet-based science Over-The-Top (OTT) TV channel. It is an initiative of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Govt of India , implemented and managed by Vigyan Prasar (VP), an autonomous organisation of Department of Science and Technology. This 24x7 video platform is dedicated to science and technology knowledge dissemination, with a strong commitment to spreading scientific awareness especially with Indian perspectives, ethos and cultural milieu. The initiative is supported by National Council of Science and Technology Communication (NCSTC), DST.

Science and Technology are the main driving forces of the nation and fundamental to the progress and growth. But there is a distinct difference between “science” and “scientific”.

What do you think, is the difference and where do you think they relate with each other? How do the two words contribute to building and reinforcing scientific temper among the youth? Send us your views!

Even the flash of insight, which characterizes many great scientific achievements, usually follows hard toil and reflection on the problem for long periods of time. As Thomas Alva Edison said “science is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration”.

Scientific temper involves many parameters. It is characterized by healthy scepticism, universalism, freedom from prejudice or bias, objectivity, open mindedness and humility, willingness to suspend judgement without sufficient evidence, rationality, perseverance and last but not the least a positive approach to failure.

Suppression of creativity and scientific ideas in the name of religion, culture and traditions is rampant in most part of the country. People still treat scientific advances as foreign invasion on their religion, culture and traditions.

Why we haven’t produced intellectual ideas and social reforms because, Glorification of works done by ancestors is a habit of Indians. Just because, people merely follow what has been told to them than doing something creative, some primitive work done by ancestors becomes so sacred that it can’t questioned and reformed.

बॉलीवुड अपनी ज्यादातर फिल्मों में प्यार मोहब्बत को ही दिखाता है जिसके कारण यहां के बच्चे लड़की पटाने और छेड़ने में ज्यादा इंटरेस्ट लेते हैं, वही हॉलीवुड में फिल्में साइंस फिक्शन पर आधारित होती हैं जिससे वहां के बच्चे विज्ञान में ज्यादा इंटरेस्ट लेते हैं इसलिए, उनका देश विज्ञान में ज्यादा तरक्की कर रहा है, कौन-कौन मेरी इस बात से सहमत है।

विज्ञान क्षेत्र में मनोवृति बनाने के लिए हमे पहले हमारी संस्कृति से अवगत होना जरूरी है। जो हमे किसी विषय में अध्ययन रत हेतु ध्यान केन्द्रित करने में सहायक है। विज्ञान वर्ग में मनोवृति बनाने के लिए हमे टेलीविजन पर वैज्ञानिक दष्टिकोण वाली दृश्य की आवश्यकता अधिक है, जो बच्चो व छात्रों में अभिरूची बनाने में सहायक है। एक ओर बात सभी सरकारी स्कूलों में विज्ञान वर्ग होना व इसी के साथ- साथ स्कूलो में एक करियर सायकोलोजिस्ट जो छात्रों को उनके योग्यता अनुसार उन्हें विषय चुनने में सहायता करें। धन्यवाद

Respected PM Sir, Indian Citizens of all age groups like to watch TV. So, small video clips (of 30-60 sec.) prepared by Scientists from Govt. R&D laboratories can be telecast in place of few advertisements. This method will educate our citizens on science and such scientific clips can grow scientific temperament among them. Some subjects for video clips can be, why sun is yellow, why sky is blue, why animals can see at night etc. Kind Regards, Dr.Vaibhav Patankar, Mumbai
