Vigyan Prasar is an autonomous organisation setup by the Government of India's Department of Science and Technology in 1989, to undertake large scale science popularisation tasks in the country. VIGYAN PRASAR WEB SITE is only one of the many components of VIPRIS which stands for Vigyan Prasar Information System for science communicators and is an activity of Vigyan Prasar.

Let me share with you our thoughts and ideas on what we would like to make of the VP WEB SITE in the near future ! VP WEB SITE would like to get more and more people, especially the younger ones, interested in science.

We are trying to organise things in such a way that information on scientific and technological developments taking place in India can be put on our home page on a regular basis, with as frequent updates as possible. We would also endeavour to put on a variety of other things which would encourage you to think scientifically and act scientifically, by reviving your inquisitiveness, curiosity and the habit of asking questions whenever you don't know or don't understand. Thank you and do join us again. We would welcome your suggestions and queries.
