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 13th to 23rd June, 2016. 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.
This camp will help the students’ dormant talent blossom and give them 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: June 13-23, 2016
Venue: Guesthouse-cumConvention Centre, IISER Pune
