Community Science Center (CSC)
CSC strives for development of Scientific temper and scientific attitude in daily life among the people are very much important for Socio-economic development.
Inculcate Scientific Temper in masses
Motivate the population to appreciate science in daily life and stay away from non-scientific and superstitious practices
Transition from "Science Teaching" to "Science Learning"
Science can be much more fun when “learned”, not “taught”. We try to invoke the spirit of discovery and innovation among young minds.
Fostering people with creative hobbies
Provide platform, by establishing related clubs, to people with creative hobbies like astronomy, birdwatching, origami, amateur radio etc.
Great scientific minds are shaped early by unforgettable experiences ..... and some miracle moments.
-Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
