JUNIOR SCHOLARSHIP :
Since 1958, JBNSTS has been working with the objectives to identify, nurture and motivate the talented students to achieve their scientific goals and to develop their innovative minds.
Through the work experience of more than five decades, JBNSTS realized that it would be more effective if we catch the students when they are very young.
Thus JBNSTS took the initiative to start a Junior Talent Search Test from 2015 for class XI Science students of West Bengal.
JUNIOR BIGYANI KANYA MEDHA BRITTI
:
Even though India has achieved marvels
in science and technology, gender inequality in the ambit of science
still continuous to plague our society. Our nation produces large
number of scientists and science professionals in the world yet
paltry representation of girls in science education has been a
pressing issue which is a result of discrimination prejudices and
stereotypes in the society. The lack of girls' participation in
science at an early age is subjected to lack of awareness of
science being meted out to them in school education.
Addressing the complexity of gender gap
and the plight of young girls to study science in the high school
standard in West Bengal, JBNSTS had initiated an exclusive program
for the talented girl students of our state pursuing science in
higher secondary framework of education. Since inception of this
scheme in 2020 under support of Department of Science and Technology
& Biotechnology, Government of West Bengal, this program has invoked
admiration and appreciation from the girl science aspirants of our
state. This program is also an encouragement for the parents to rear
up their young girls.
