5 YEARS WITH VIPNET
What is a VIPNET Science Club?
An active and fully functional science club working in any part of the country without any discrimination based on caste, creed, ideology, religion or language, can be a part of VIPNET by simply registering with VIPNET for affiliation. In addition, there are many more science clubs to be formed afresh with local initiatives and Vigyan Prasar’s guidance, which after meeting some basic requirements would be able to register with VIPNET for affiliation. The new and existing clubs will maintain their own identity and carry out programmes as per their convenience. Only the statement saying “Affiliated to VIPNET” must be mentioned in the club brochure or signboard or other literature they produce. No registration or affiliation fee will be charged for enrolling with VIPNET.
VIPNET Objectives
Science clubs have been playing a key role in many places due to their exemplary work and commitment of their members towards their chosen causers. Several national and international organisations have their science clubs across the country. Add to this the science clubs run by state-level agencies. Even so, the total number may not cross even five thousand-not large enough for this vast country of ours with a population of almost one billion. VIPNET aims to establish a vast countrywide network of science clubs.
Broadly the objectives of VIPNET are:
Dissemination of information on science & technology (S&T), which is an essential tool for development. VP has the right technological back-up and mandate to reach out to the masses. The VIPNET clubs are planned to be Vigyan Prasar’s agents for change at the remotest of places in India. Evolution of a holistic approach towards problems through awareness, concern, involvement, and application of the scientific methodology for their resolution. Various short and long-term activities and programmes are envisaged for the science clubs which are doable and relevant. Stimulation of the spirit of curiosity, enquiry, innovation and creativity through activities which would supplement conventional education and make science a very enjoyable and interesting pursuit. Participation in the National Children’s Science Congress would be a very good example.
