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.

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!

If any organization or the country as a whole were to achieve progress, we have to foster a Scientific Temper in the citizens with absolute capacity for critical evaluation

To cause harm in body, reputation or property to other by any word, deed or thought is animality .for e.g. - if I thought to kill someone with cruelty or By misrepresenting someone transfer their property to my name or I cause any bodily injury to someone or I cause insult of someone at public place all these consider as animality

Every citizen should strive for development or raise towards divinity , qualities higher than human. No one can inspire to be divine unless he /she strive in thought, word and deed to be first a human.

Caution and control are required against following into animalism. Humanism is outstanding in man’s nature. There must be its incessant manifestation in conduct and behavior.

On the other hand, humanism is a primarily rational coupled with emotional quality. Every citizen had 3 elements inherent i.e. Animaility, humanity and divinity.

To make things more clear, let me categorically state certain examples – Existence of superstition in most parts of India is an example of the inability of people to enquire and reform. “My forefathers believed, so I believe it too” … That’s the answer you find from these people when asked.

The non-creative child grows up and again preaches the same values to his/her children and this cycle has been continuing. That’s precisely the reason why we haven’t produced intellectual ideas and social reforms

The sense of enquiring and making a reform is never told or promoted. In fact, sense of enquiry and reform is crushed at every stage. This leads to a situation, where kids become non-creative.

Each of the fundamental duties of Indian citizens is self-explanatory. As per the values of Indian family system, children are told right from our childhood to accept whatever has been told to them. The same thing is echoed during primary education.

Of course, it has been easier said than done to create that atmosphere in a nation where superstition, religion, rumour, myth and innumerable beliefs abound. Thus, we are still struggling to build scientific temper even after 69 years of independence
