GoI launched Accelerate Vigyan to strengthen scientific research mechanism

GoI Launched Accelerate Vigyan to strengthen the scientific research mechanism. The new scheme was launched by the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB). The scheme aims to provide a single platform for research internships, capacity building programs, and workshops across the country.

Accelerate Vigyan:

• The main objective of the Accelerate Vigyan scheme is to give more thrust on encouraging high-end scientific research and preparing scientific manpower, which can lead to research careers and knowledge-based economy.
• It aims to recognize that all research has its base as the development of quality and well-trained researchers.
• AV will initiate and strengthen mechanisms to identify research potential, training, mentoring, and hands-on workshop on a national scale.

It aims to expand the research base, with three broad goals, namely,

• consolidation/aggregation of all scientific programs
• initiating high-end orientation workshops
• creating opportunities for research internships for those who do not have access to such resources/facilities

The AV plans to work on a mission mode with respect to its component dealing with consolidation/aggregation of all major scientific events in the country.

Also, an Inter-Ministerial Overseeing Committee (IMOC) that involves all the scientific ministries/departments and a few others has been constituted for the purpose of supporting SERB in implementing the AV scheme in a successful manner.
