Indian Space Research
Organisation (ISRO) has launched from this year a ‘Young Scientist Programme’.
Called ‘YUva VIgyani
KAryakram’, the Programme aims to impart basic knowledge on space technology,
space science and space applications to youngsters to arouse their interest in
this emerging area.
ISRO has chalked out
this programme to “Catch them young”. The residential training programme will
run for two weeks during the summer holidays. Three students from each
State/Union Territory will be selected to participate in this programme every
year. Those who have finished VIII standard and are in IX standard will be
eligible.
The selection will be
based on the academic performance and extracurricular activities. Students
belonging to the rural area will get a special weightage. ISRO is in touch with
Chief Secretaries of States/UTs, and the list of selected candidates is
expected by the March end.
