CSIR-IICT promotes science awareness among tribal students in Bhadrachalam
The CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (CSIR-IICT) has launched initiatives aimed at promoting scientific awareness, environmental sustainability and educational empowerment among tribal communities.
In collaboration with the Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA), Bhadrachalam, the institute organised a career guidance and scientific awareness programme for Intermediate and Degree students, particularly those from remote tribal areas.
The initiative sought to introduce students to emerging opportunities in science and technology, encourage them to pursue higher education and research, and create awareness about career pathways in the scientific sector as part of the nationwide observance of ‘Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas 2026’.
A team of scientists from CSIR-IICT interacted with students at the ITDA campus, highlighting the institute’s multidisciplinary research activities, scientific achievements and opportunities available in science, technology and research. The sessions provided insights into higher education options, research careers and the role of scientific institutions in addressing societal challenges.
A quiz competition on general science was conducted for the students with winners presented prizes for their performance. The programme was organised with the support of ITDA Project Director B. Rahul, IAS, along with other officials and staff of ITDA schools, said a press release on Thursday.
