outreach
One of the primary goals of the Students’ Science Council is to reach out to the young students and promote scientific spirit among them. The council organises various Outreach programs throughout the year in the nearby schools wherein students of the university visit schools, especially the underprivileged ones and give them a proper exposure to science. It includes scientific discussions, quizzes, scientific demonstrations, documentaries, screenings to name a few.
Offbeat
Since its establishment, the council has strived to popularise science within the university premises. The weekly discussions, ‘Offbeat’ is one of the recent initiatives taken by the council to do the same. Every Wednesday students from various departments assemble and take part in various scientific discussions, ranging from brainstorming sessions, talks to documentary screenings.
