Ishān Vikās is a program organised by the MHRD, Govt. of India to bring selected school students from northeastern states of India into close contact with the IITs and IISERs during their vacation periods.
The aim of the program is to give these students an exposure to science and research life. One of the focal points of these visits will be to open the young minds and give them a broad overview of the future paths which they could traverse. In this program a team of 40 students (20 boys and 20 girls) and 5 teachers will visit IISER Pune from 1st to 11th December, 2015. During the period they will be exposed to academic excellence through lectures, demonstrations and workshops by eminent faculty from IISER and other Institutes. In addition, they will also get a flavour of other important aspects such as computer literacy, sports, communication skills, sky watching, personality development, liberal arts, science and society, etc. In order to see the real rural India, they will also visit a few villages where indigenous techniques are practiced.
This camp will help the students’ dormant talent blossom and they will get a wider perspective on how they can take a pro-active role in shaping their own future, as envisaged in the theme of the program.
Dates: December 1-11, 2015
Venue: Lecture Hall Complex 201, IISER Pune
