This year, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) start a new programme to train school children in space technology, science and applications. Students from class IX in a state, CBSE or ICSE board school can be selected for the programme.
Under the programme, called YUva VIgyani KAryakram (YUVIKA), three students from each state and union territory will be selected by the chief secretaries based on their academic and extracurricular performance.
Students from rural schools will get special weightage in the selection process.
It will be a two-week residential programme that inducts the first batch this year during the summer vacations.
“The programme is aimed at catching them young. It will run during the summer vacations in two - three major ISRO centres like in Bangalore, Thiruvananthapuram and Ahmedabad. The list of selected candidates from the states are expected by the end of this month,” said an ISRO official, on condition of anonymity.
This is a part of a series of outreach programmes being undertaken by the space organisation. Samwad with Students, where children are told about the country’s space programme, was also launched on the New Year’s Day in Bangalore. The programme entails a series of lectures by ISRO researchers in different parts of the country.
This year, the fourth stage of the Polar Satellite Launching Vehicle was also used as a platform for experimentation by students. The first student satellite -- KalaamSat -- was launched on January 25. Seven more applications have been received for the programme.
