Science happens when someone raises a question and then starts the process of answering the question by following Scientic Method. This processes happens in many places: in a laboratory with scientists and academics; on farms with farmers; in clinics with doctors; at sea with shermen; in classroom with teachers and students.
The Bhartiya Vigyan Sammelan (BVS) is a platform to bring together all the above who contribute to science. The Bhartiya Vigyan Sammelan is a agship program of Vijnana Bharati.
