The RKVS provides an umbrella of opportunity, under which the shortlisted teams from National Children’s Science Congress (NCSC), a flagship programme of NCSTC division of DST, GoI, and Rashtriya Bal Vaigyanik Pradarshani (RBVP), an exhibition-based programme organized by NCERT, come together and demonstrate their scientific acumen not only to the participants of the Indian Science Congress but also the visitors coming from various walks of life, including thousands of students from different schools.
The programmes like NCSC and RBVP aims at nurturing the natural curiosity and innovativeness in young fertile minds, connecting them to the environment and the society, making them to ponder upon the sustainable solutions for a better, safer, and healthier world.
Participation at RKVS makes these children more confident, socially and scientifically aware about their surroundings, intellectually rich, and prepare to meet the challenges of life.
The Rashtriya Kishore Vaigyanik Sammelan at the 108th Indian Science Congress will have 61 NCSC participants and 10 NCERT projects with 20 participants.
