About IISF 2021

India International Science Festival (IISF) is an initiative of Ministry of Science and Technology and Ministry of Earth Science of Government of India in association with Vijnana Bharati which is a science movement with swadeshi spirit lead by eminent scientists of the country.

The main purpose of IISF is the celebration of science . Engagement of common people with science in a joyful and entertaining manner is essential for the healthy, prosperous and meaningful life. Through its creative programs and activities, IISF provides opportunities to people and scientific fraternity in the country and abroad to come together, work together and experience the joy of doing science for the wellbeing of India and humanity

IISF Vision

Promotion of Creativity in Science, Technology and Innovation for Prosperous India

Mission IISF

To engage creative and imaginative minds in India and across the globe to celebrate science through various programs and activities connected to the five pillars of Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav

तालुकास्तरीय जिल्हास्तरीय राज्यस्तरीय विज्ञान मिळावे होता त्या विद्यालयांमध्ये विद्यालयातील प्राचार्य किंवा नेमणूक केलेल्या अधिकारी भ्रष्टाचार करतात मी स्वतः अनुभवले आहे गरीब घरातील हुशार विद्यार्थ्याला एखांदी मॉडेल तयार करायचे असले तर तो करु शकत नाही किंवा त्यांनी केले ज्या शाळेतून तो गेला त्या शाळेचे जर वर्चस्व नसले तर तो तालुक्यातून प्रथम द्वितीय तृतीय येत नाही या माध्यमात मध्ये बदल घडून आणावा शिव शंकर मगर

A few issues are posed here to provoke Indian innovators: One problem with using solar power on a commercial basis by using solar panels is the very large area required to generate electrical power. The same applies to conversion of wind-power into electrical power. The dish-engine system of conversion of solar energy is a more compact solution. We need a more compact wind-power converter. Another challenge is to devise a way to harness even a minute portion of the monstrous wind-energy of a storm to lift sea-water to a large reservoir at a optimum height as a storage of energy, to be used later to produce hydro-electricity. The war in Europe has transformed the energy-problem into a moral dilemma for the European allies of Ukraine and the research on controlled thermo-nuclear fusion has assumed great significance for them. India is also vulnerable on the energy-front and must keep abreast with the latest progress in this direction and start a project for building a prototype.

Science is creative in much the same way that art, music, or literature are creative, in that scientists have to use their imagination to come up with explanations. These explanations are well informed – they are not mere guesses – but there is no escaping the fact that they are ultimately products of the imagination. As Peter Medawar explained, "Scientists are building explanatory structures, telling stories which are scrupulously tested to see if they are stories about real life" (Medawar, 1984, p. 133, emphasis in original). By "telling stories," Medawar does not mean that scientists are just making things up out of nothing. He means that scientists piece together bits of information in a way that makes sense, the way writers piece together characters and events. But a scientist's job doesn't end there. The story they've told is rigorously tested to see if makes sense in the context of everything else we already know.

The natural world is highly complex, and the really big, interesting scientific problems (like curing cancer) are usually too difficult to solve directly. The art of being a scientist involves continually re-imagining these big problems, mentally breaking them down into smaller, solvable (i.e. "soluble") parts, and then speculating about which of these smaller parts might be key to cracking open the whole subject. In other words, a scientist must imagine, in advance, possible outcomes of different observations, and then design a research study that might help them decide between different hypotheses.

So how do scientists come up with those specific questions to study? You might be surprised to hear that the process involves large doses of creativity. A Nobel Prize-winning biologist, Peter Medawar, once referred to scientific research as "the art of the soluble" (Medawar, 1984, p. 254). Medawar did not mean that science is about things that dissolve – he meant that being successful in science is about figuring out which questions are solvable through scientific investigation, and then figuring out the solutions to those questions.

Students in science classes usually get the idea that scientific investigations involve careful observation and analysis of data to test hypotheses. One thing that remains shrouded in mystery, however, is how scientists decide on the particular questions they ask in the first place. For example, if you were to ask college biology students what they want to research or what motivates them to study science, they might say, "I want to find a cure for cancer." But if you were to ask which experiments or observations they plan to start with, most students would be at a loss. In contrast, if you were to flip through the table of contents of the journal, Cancer Research, you would find titles like "Ligand-Independent Androgen Receptor Variants Derived from Splicing of Cryptic Exons Signify Hormone-Refractory Prostate Cancer" (Hu et al., 2009). Clearly, the actual research topics scientists choose to study and publish papers about are quite a bit more specific than curing cancer.
