Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh Stresses Citizen-Centric Science Communication at ESSC Meeting
Published
Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh recently chaired the General Body Meeting of the ESSC, where he spoke about the importance of communicating science in a way that ordinary people can understand and relate to. He emphasised that science communication should be citizen-centric, meaning that it should focus on the needs, interests and questions of the public rather than only on experts.
During the meeting, the Minister highlighted the role of science communication in showcasing India's scientific achievements. He said that many important advances made by Indian scientists and institutions are not widely known to citizens. By sharing these achievements in clear and simple language, the government and scientific bodies can help people understand how research affects their daily lives, from health and agriculture to technology and the environment.
The Minister also underlined that effective communication can inspire young people to take an interest in science and consider careers in research. Members of the General Body discussed ways to make scientific information more accessible, including the use of different languages and modern media platforms, so that more people across the country can take part in conversations about science.
The meeting shows the government's continued focus on building public awareness of science in India. As the country develops its research and innovation capacity, clear and accessible communication is seen as a key way to connect scientific work with the public and to build wider support for future progress.
