KSCST : Overview

The Karnataka State Council for Science and Technology (KSCST) was established in 1975 as a registered society to liaise and to play a catalytic role amongst others in promoting the application of Science and Technology in the developmental needs, objectives and goals of Karnataka and in particular to the prevailing conditions of backwardness, rural unemployment and poverty.

The KSCST is the first council to be setup in the country to fulfill the felt need of bringing together administrators, field level officers in various government departments, scientists and technologists in research laboratories and research institutions.

With a view to develop technologies appropriate to and in harmony with the ecological conditions, the Council has been catalyzing interaction between developers and users of technologies, by bringing together scientists and engineers on the one hand and policy makers as well as administrators on the other.

Over the last 32 years, KSCST has completed several projects in various sectors like Energy, Environment, Building Technology, Agriculture, Information Technology, Health, Rural Industry and Water.

Successful projects / technologies developed by KSCST are Energy planning of Karnataka, Energy food, House numbering system for Bangalore city, Hand pumps for drinking water wells, Astra Ole, Community Jaggery making units, Solar water heating system, Publication of SNAPSHOT, Zoning Atlas for Siting on Industries, Natural Resources Data Management System (NRDMS), Rainwater Harvesting, Karnataka State Spatial Data Infrastructure (KSSDI), etc., to name few.
