programmes for the improvement of science education in

Universities and Colleges throughout our country.

Short-duration Lecture Workshops form an important

segment of the activities under the Science Academies’

Programme, envisaged to benefit the teachers and

students at the Undergraduate, Postgraduate and

Research levels.

The Academy, founded in 1934, aims at the progress of

Science both in pure and applied branches. Its major

activities include publication of Scientific Journals and

Special volumes, organizing meetings of the fellows,

discussions on important topics, recognizing scientific

talent, improvement of Science Education and take up

other issues of concern to the scientific community.

The Indian National Science Academy established in

1935 with the sole objective of promoting Science in

India and harnessing scientific knowledge to the cause

of humanity and National welfare. It aims at publishing

Journals, organizing Scientific discussions and bringing

about Proceedings and Monographs.

The National Academy of Sciences India founded in

1930, is the oldest Science Academy of the country. The

main objective of the Academy is to provide a National

Forum for the publication of research work carried out by

Indian scientists and to provide opportunities for

exchange of views among them.
