Organization Profile
About AIPSN
The All India Peoples Science Network is a network of over forty Peoples Science organizations spread all over the country. The AIPSN started its activities as a network of activist organizations involved in Science Popularization and in examining issues related to the interface of science with society. Since the pioneering efforts of the Bharat Jan Vigyan Jatha, in 1987, supported by the National Council for Science and Technology Communication (NCSTC), the AIPSN has emerged as a pioneer in activities related to science communication and popularization.
The AIPSN, which had its initial thrust in the area of Science Communication, led the efforts of adult literacy in the country in 1990. It nucleated the Bharat Gyan Vigyan Samiti, which went on to spearhead the Total Literacy Campaigns in Districts across the country in partnership with the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD). The success of the literacy movements and the subsequent integration of several state-level BGVS organizations in the AIPSN significantly increased the reach of the AIPSN to over half the Districts in the country.
The literacy movements in the AIPSN have now built on the massive mobilization achieved through the total literacy programmes and include activities related to continuing education, school education, women's empowerment, credit co-operative movements, rural microenterprises, etc. Another major area of intervention by the AIPSN has been in the area of science, technology and self-reliance.
