WHY A SCIENCE BOOK FOR KIDS?

Though Dr CV Raman won the Nobel Prize almost a century ago, only eight Indian scientists have won the Nobel since then. We desperately need more brains on science research, basic and applied. We also need to bring out our scientists from laboratories and make them heroes that kids can aspire to.

Science is all about asking questions, constantly, being curious about the way the world around you works. Questioning the world has become especially important today, in the times of climate emergency.  We need the new generation to find unique solutions, inventions and discover new things about our fast fading biodiversity.

I’m hoping this book on Indian scientists, who live and work here, in this country, is the first step towards this.
