About the DST Haryana

The Science & Technology Department was created on March, 1983. Promotion of Renewable
Energy Programmes was one of the thrust area and objective of the Department and most of the
resources were concentrated in this direction. In 1995, State Government created new Department of
Non- Conventional Energy Sources by bifurcating the Science & Technology Department.
Accordingly, priority areas of Department were reframed. The main objective of HSCSIT is to provide
linkages between the operational departments of the Government, research and educational
institutions and productive sectors in agriculture &industry etc; ensure applications of Science &
Technology to solve real problems encountered in plan implementation; promote location specific
research; demonstrate through model experiments & to utilize local capabilities/resources on an
integrated basis. Apart from this, HSCSIT is engaged in science popularization in order to promote
scientific thinking among the people of the state.

About the Science Conclave

This science conclave UDAAN will be the platform for children, teachers and other academia to
interact with each other as well as India's top scientists. The above demonstrations and live
programmes will assist the students in realizing the significance of basic sciences in contemporary
world as well as selecting the subjects related to basic science for their prospective vocation in teaching
and research. This is an era of convergence; academicians of various disciplines need to converge for
providing a better output for the human kind and certainly this conclave will strengthen like
mindedness amongst us. Such activities have also been planned for the students from 9th class
