Need for taking science beyond labs and into public consciousness: Union minister

Bhubaneswar, Jul 17 (PTI) Union minister Jitendra Singh on Thursday said there is a need to take science beyond labs and into public consciousness in order to make scientific output more accessible. Addressing scientists, technologists and scholars at Institute of Minerals and Materials Technology (IMMT) here, Singh said, "Many breakthroughs of Council of Scientific & [ ]
Jitendra Singh stressed that science should not remain an esoteric domain accessible only to researchers and academics. Instead, it must be democratized, with its principles and innovations explained in a manner that resonates with the common person. He pointed out that while India has made significant strides in scientific research and technological innovation, there remains a disconnect between these achievements and public awareness. Many groundbreaking discoveries and inventions fail to impact society at large because they are not adequately communicated or understood outside academic and professional circles. This gap, according to the minister, hinders the potential for science to address real-world challenges faced by ordinary citizens, particularly in areas such as healthcare, agriculture, and environmental sustainability.
The minister underscored the importance of science communication as a means to foster public trust in scientific endeavors. In an era where misinformation and skepticism about science are rampant, effective communication can serve as a powerful tool to dispel myths and build confidence in evidence-based solutions. For instance, during public health crises like the COVID-19 pandemic, clear and accessible communication about vaccines, safety protocols, and disease prevention played a pivotal role in shaping public behavior and compliance. Singh argued that such examples demonstrate the necessity of embedding science communication within the broader framework of scientific research and policy-making. He advocated for scientists, educators, and policymakers to collaborate in creating platforms and content that simplify complex concepts without diluting their essence, thereby making science relatable to diverse audiences.
Furthermore, the minister highlighted the role of technology in amplifying the reach of science communication. With the advent of digital media and social platforms, there are unprecedented opportunities to engage with the public on a massive scale. He encouraged the scientific community to leverage these tools to disseminate knowledge, share success stories, and inspire curiosity among young minds. By using engaging formats such as videos, podcasts, and interactive online content, science can be presented in ways that capture the imagination of people from all walks of life. Singh also pointed out the potential of regional languages in making science more accessible, noting that translating scientific content into local dialects can break linguistic barriers and ensure inclusivity, especially in a linguistically diverse country like India.
Another key aspect of the minister’s address was the need to inspire the younger generation to take an active interest in science. He emphasized that fostering a scientific temperament among students is crucial for the nation’s future. This involves not only improving science education in schools but also creating opportunities for hands-on learning and exposure to real-world applications of scientific principles. Singh suggested that initiatives like science fairs, innovation challenges, and mentorship programs can ignite passion and curiosity among students, encouraging them to pursue careers in science and technology. He also called for greater collaboration between educational institutions and research organizations to create pathways for students to engage directly with cutting-edge developments, thereby nurturing a culture of innovation from an early age.
The minister also touched upon the role of science in addressing pressing national and global challenges. From climate change to food security, scientific solutions are often at the forefront of tackling these issues. However, for these solutions to be effective, public participation and awareness are essential. Singh cited examples such as renewable energy adoption and sustainable agricultural practices, where community involvement has been critical to success. He argued that when people understand the science behind such initiatives, they are more likely to support and adopt them in their daily lives. This, in turn, creates a ripple effect, amplifying the impact of scientific interventions across society.
In addition, Singh highlighted the government’s commitment to promoting science and technology as drivers of national development. He mentioned various policies and programs aimed at fostering innovation and research, while also ensuring that the benefits of these efforts are widely shared. The minister reiterated the importance of aligning scientific progress with the needs and aspirations of the people, ensuring that advancements are not just confined to elite institutions but are tailored to address local and regional challenges. This approach, he noted, is particularly relevant in a country like India, where socio-economic diversity necessitates customized solutions that cater to different demographics and geographies.
The minister also called for a cultural shift in how science is perceived in society. He urged for a move away from viewing science as a distant or intimidating field, towards recognizing it as an integral part of daily life. Whether it is through understanding the technology behind smartphones or appreciating the science of nutrition, Singh emphasized that science surrounds us in myriad ways. By embedding this realization into public consciousness, he believes that society can develop a deeper appreciation for scientific inquiry and its contributions to human progress. This cultural shift, according to the minister, requires concerted efforts from all stakeholders, including media, educators, and community leaders, to weave science into the fabric of everyday conversations and decision-making.
In conclusion, Jitendra Singh’s address serves as a clarion call for reimagining the role of science in society. By taking science beyond the labs and into the public domain, there is an opportunity to create a more informed, engaged, and empowered citizenry. His vision encompasses not just the dissemination of knowledge but also the cultivation of a scientific mindset that values curiosity, critical thinking, and innovation. Through effective communication, technological integration, and educational reforms, science can become a shared resource that uplifts communities and drives sustainable development. The minister’s message is clear: science is not just for scientists—it is for everyone, and its true potential can only be realized when it becomes a collective endeavor embraced by society at large. This perspective is particularly significant in the context of India’s aspirations to become a global leader in innovation and technology, where public participation and understanding will play a defining role in shaping the future.
