MoreThe coverage of science and technology related developments, particularly relating to research done in Indian research institutions, is generally very poor in Indian media. There are several reasons for this situation, one of them being the lack of good local content. In order to bridge this gap, Vigyan Prasar has launched a unique initiative - India Science Wire – in January 2017. The news service is dedicated to developments in Indian research institutions, universities and academic institutions. Almost all news stories released by this service are based on research papers by Indian scientists published in leading Indian and foreign journals. All news stories and features are written and edited by a team of professional science journalists with decades of experience in science journalism.
All media houses – newspapers, magazines, television news channels and online media platforms are invited for a free subscription of science and technology news stories/features produced by India Science Wire / SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY NEWS OF INDIA (STNI).
