Science Society

Preface

Science and technology have had a major impact on society, and their impact is growing. For the progress of the country through the advancement of science, citizens must be able to have a basic understanding of what science is. This is possible only if we can connect our institutions with the community. The science society was constituted in the college on February 28, 2022, to promote interest, understanding, and knowledge of the scientific world amongst the college students and the local community. In addition to curriculum-based regular science teaching in the college, it is important to make the students aware of the latest scientific knowledge and its implications in society so that students may become enlightened citizens with scientific temperament. The science society is intended to present science holistically and interestingly way by bringing all science departments (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Botany Zoology) under one umbrella platform. Science society activities are designed primarily to motivate the students to undertake interesting/exciting mini-science projects.

OBJECTIVE OF SCIENCE SOCIETY

The college science society activities offer the opportunity for the students to :

• Solve a relevant science-based problem set within a scenario.
• Work in pairs or small groups or independently.
• Take part in practical hands-on science activities.
