About Us

Bharatiya Vigyan Sammelan (BVS) is a flagship program of Vijnana Bharati initiated as a vehicle to reach the masses in the pursuit of popularizing science and technology and to facilitate interactions within common people and scientific fraternity. BVS is a conglomeration of scientist, artisans,technocrats, traditional innovators, students and common people planned once in two years. It has become an excellent platform to bring together whoever contributes to science and has become anew definition and identity in the field of scientific seminars and symposiums. To date, five bharatiya vigyan sammelans have taken place starting from bhopal (2007), indore (2009),jalandhar (2012), panaji (2015), and pune (2017).

BVS aims to provide a channel of communication between traditional and modern sciences with the prospects of communicating in any bharatiya regional language and not restricting to only english as the preferred language for scientific expression.

BVS wants to champion the cause of bharatiya heritage with cordial synthesis of natural and spiritual sciences; and to motivate young scientists towards greater creativity and originality.

Objectives of BVS 2023 is mention below

  • Explore avenues for deeper scientific interaction between traditional practices /techniques and modern sciences to improve the understanding and effectiveness.
  • Showcase contemporary indian scientific contributions to the society.
  • Promote development and communication of science through regional languages.
  • Showcase grass root innovations made by artisans from different domains,farmers, fishermen and so.
  • Explore feasibility of using traditional science and technology to resolve contemporary issues.

Sustainable agriculture is to meet society’s food and textile needs in the present scenario without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
It involves preventing adverse effects to soil, water, biodiversity, surrounding or downstream resources as well as to those working or living on the farm or in neighboring areas. Elements of sustainable agriculture can include permaculture, agroforestry, mixed farming, multiple cropping, and crop rotation.

Archaeology is the study of the material remains of past generations. Ranging from the discovery of stone tools made by early humans to the discovery of palaces and cathedrals, archaeological investigations have played a central role in shaping our understanding of how we see the world. Linking to the architectural field, archaeology also examines the construction techniques of buildings, however, the link to architecture is not only limited to that. Archaeology, like architecture, examines the ways in which past societies were organized, and how they transformed the topography and landscape

The importance of nanotechnology in Indian Swadesi (indigenous) science started evolving from the ancient era and is still evolving with modern science. Nanotechnology offers an incredible opportunity for India to develop cutting-edge solutions tailored to its unique needs and challenges. By investing in indigenous nanotechnology research and development, India is fostering innovation, create job opportunities, and strengthen its self-reliance in key sectors. Swadesi nanotechnology is potentially revolutionizing healthcare delivery, agriculture practices, energy generation, and environmental sustainability. It is enabling India to leverage its vast scientific and technological expertise to address national priorities and promote inclusive growth. Furthermore, by developing indigenous nanotechnology capabilities, India is reducing its dependence on foreign technologies, enhance national security, and foster a culture of scientific excellence. The integration of nanotechnology into Swadesi nanoscience is also contributing for paving the way for India to become a global leader in this transformative field, making significant contributions to both scientific advancement and socio-economic development
