Driving India’s science agenda towards #ViksitBharat2047! Science fuels progress, technology empowers transformation, and innovation builds nations. Under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, India is advancing its Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) ecosystem to accelerate research, nurture scientific talent and translate discoveries into solutions for national development. Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh highlights this ambitious vision, with #ESTIC2026 serving as a powerful platform to connect ideas, foster collaboration and propel India towards global scientific leadership. Let us harness the power of science and innovation to build a self-reliant, prosperous and globally competitive India!

Renewable Energy: Our Power, Our Planet! What if today’s students could imagine - and engineer - a #netzero tomorrow? Challenge young minds to think critically: Which green energy solutions work best in their communities? How can #science turn #sunlight, #wind and #water into #sustainable power? Let curiosity spark innovation. Let ideas power change. The future is renewable - and it begins in the classroom!

Mangroves are nature’s warriors - and Gujarat’s coastal guardians! From the Gulf of Kachchh to the Gulf of Khambhat, #Gujarat’s mangrove ecosystems protect coastlines, nurture marine biodiversity, capture carbon, and sustain coastal livelihoods. Yet, these vital green shields needs growing support. Restoring #mangroves is not just planting trees; it is investing in #climateresilience, thriving #oceans, and a #sustainable future. Let #communities, #science, and collective action lead the way towards healthier coasts and a greener planet!

27 October marks the invention of the Spectroscope! On 27 October 1859, German physicist #GustavKirchhoff announced the invention and practical development of the modern prism-based spectroscope at the University of Heidelberg, transforming chemical analysis and #astrophysics. By revealing the secrets hidden in light, #spectroscopy enabled scientists to identify elements in distant stars and explore the composition of the #Universe. Every #spectrum tells a story; every ray of light brings us closer to discovery!
