MOBILE SCIENCE EXHIBITION - AN OUTREACH PROGRAMME OF NCSM ENSURING RURAL CONNECTIVITY TO SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

摘要

The rural population of India could not harness the benefit of science and technology in post independence era due to urban centric development creating economical and social divide between the two sections. People there remain isolated and needed special efforts to bridge the gap. National Council of Science Museums introduced a novel but standardized concept of science on wheels for its science outreach programme, after systematic study. It took the message and means to harness the benefit of Science & Technology right to the doorsteps of people creating scientific temper among those who needed it the most. The science outreach programme ensured the participation of millions of people in development of the country through science & technology.
