Great initiative by Government to encourage people interested in this field. I really appreciate this work but, I would like to remind Government that there are two more fields which need some attention. People can create magic if they combine science with other fields.

In this festival, the Govt. has to give freelance to the students in all categories and encourage them towards scientific think, innovation methods. Budget should be separated for establishing Scientific research institutions to encourage innovators. India-International Science Festival is the best path of knowledge sharing. So, utilize this. Encourage to publish scientific journals & circulate in all languages to the students from lower to upper level.

Science generate Technology & Technology generate Science. Before 2000 Theory had given shape to Science. But now Technology is giving shape to Science. India has many talents but they cannot explain their ideas due to many reasons such as lack of money , lack of knowledge of international language, etc. But I hope good results of New Education Policy.
