State Science and
Technology Conference
Science and Technology plays a very important role in
socio-economic development, education, eradication of poverty and
illiteracy, achieving industrial progress - all with the prime objective of
bringing improvement in quality of life. It has been found that, by
addressing issues related to resources, knowledge, skill and technology,
through various Science and Technology interventions at local level, this
objective can be achieved.
Karnataka State Council for Science and Technology
(KSCST), a 34-year old autonomous organization, is working with this
objective by taking science and technology to the rural population through
various S&T inventions. Over last three decades, KSCST has translated a
number of projects from research and demonstration phase to implementation
and operational phase.
Vision Group on Science and Technology (VGST) is an
advisory body of Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of
Karnataka, to recommend Science and Technology Programmes relevant to
mandate of DST, with the objective of encouraging and promoting Science and
Technology education and research in the state. VGST plays a vital role in
strengthening educational institutions to meet the scientific and the
technological needs.
KSCST, VGST and DST, Government of Karnataka, are
jointly organising a State Level Science and Technology
Conference under different themes.
The Council, jointly with
these partners, had organized
