THE COUNCIL
Himachal Pradesh Council for Science, Technology & Environment (HIMCOSTE) since its incep�on has been working in collabora�on with Ministries of Govt. of India like Ministry of Science & Technology (DST), Department of Space (DoS), Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change (MoEF&CC), Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), etc. The State Council is presently harnessing the poten�al of space technology, populariza�on of science, dissemina�on of appropriate technology, environment protec�on and conserva�on of biodiversity in the State. The Council has been taking various ini�a�ves for science populariza�on at various levels in the State. Major such ini�a�ves include disbursement of small and medium grant-based Research & Development Projects (R&D Projects), providing par�al travel assistance to deserving bright young Scien�sts and Research Scholars (PATSS) and organizing Popular Lecture Series (PLS) in colleges and Universi�es.
One of the major ac�vity for science populariza�on and outreach is the Himachal Pradesh Science Congress. This event offers a pla�orm to scien�sts, academicians, researchers and students from Universi�es, Research and Development Ins�tutes and colleges of Himachal Pradesh and its neighboring States in Northern India to interact and share knowledge and research findings on specific themes and subject areas.
THE CONGRESS
The theme of the 3rd Himachal Pradesh Science Congress is “Rural Upli�ment Through Science & Technology Interven�ons”. This event aims to provide a pla�orm to all those working on rural innova�ons and to discuss recent progress and future trends in technologies/ products relevant for rural transforma�on. The Congress would feature popular lectures on contemporary issues by eminent scien�sts, paper presenta�ons by researchers and exhibi�on of various rural technologies as Science Fair. There would be a Vice Chancellor's Conclave involving VCs of all Universi�es and Directors of Ins�tutes in Himachal Pradesh and Panel discussion to deliberate upon the Science, Technology and Innova�on Policy of the State.
