All About Popular Science Writing

The sole objective of this blog is to promote popular science writing- by journalists, students and scientists for the media – in a bid to promote science and technology and scientific temper which India needs in this globalised era.

This, I suppose, will also be an interactive tool for the participants of various science writing workshops being conducted under the aegis of the National Council for Science and Technology Communication(NCSTC) under the Union Ministry of Science & Technology.

Various other contributions could also be seen at my other blog http://popularsciencewriting.blogspot.com .

Unfortunately, the blogger.com had been blocked these days by the Government of India which claims to be the champion of free flow of information and Right to Information Act, even as respective governments failed to provide constitutional guarantee to the freedom of information as has been demanded by the journalist fraternity since India attained Independence. This reminds us of the dark days of the Emergency in 1975 when Censorship was official.
