Promote Science Mission



Smiley face Smiley face


Promote Science is a Science outreach initiative founded by some research scholars of IISER Kolkata and CESSI. The main goal of this mission is to enhance scientific awareness in our society regarding career opportunities in different Scientific disciplines. This is a voluntary organization and is not for profit.

As a part of our Science outreach, we publish a free newsletter every month informing students about the current happenings in Science and the future prospects of Science in India. At present, we reach out to about 300 schools in India. We primarily use email for sending these to schools or individuals but we also send postal newsletters to schools which do not have email. We also conduct popular Science interviews on a regular basis. Our recent interviews are available at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOVks7xlldA0SCCU6y_HC0g Recently, we have also begun a new initiative called the Science show where we discuss about the recent happenings in science and about our outreach activities. The show is also available from our Youtube channel.

We also encourage discussion sessions with school students and teachers via Skype or by telephone.
We are about to embark on our rural outreach activities from the last week of January. The main attractions of our outreach activities will be science shows and stargazing sessions using a 6-inch reflecting telescope.
You are encouraged to donate stationeries and old textbooks/notebooks to Promote Science. You can also write to us if you want to donate monetarily. Please get in touch with us at promotescience2020@gmail.com.
