In order to strengthen science, technology, and innovative activities in the state of Assam, Assam Science Technology & Environment Council (ASTEC) under the aegis of Department of Science & Technology, Govt. of Assam is organising the Northeast India’s biggest science fest, the 2nd edition of “State Science Festival” from March 23-25, 2019 at the Tezpur University premise. This time, the mega event is being organised by the council with the active support of Tezpur University.

State Science Festival is an integral part of Assam’s long term vision in developing and widening the spectrum of scientific temper in the state. The prime objective of the festival is to instil scientific temper among the masses and showcasing Assam’s contribution in the field of S&T over the years.
The 3days mega S&T expo is designed with a myriad of intellectually stimulating events to unfold the confluence of scientific and technical thoughts, ideas and activities among children and young minds from various educational institutions of Assam. Around 100 budding talents from Aryabhatta Science Centres of the state along with various grass-root level innovators, R&D organizations, scientific community and S&T based institutions of the state and country as a whole will be participating in the said event. Apart from these, a host of other science activities of varied nature including science lecture, scientific experiment demonstration, science quiz etc. will also be organized for participation by the students and general public.

The exhibition stalls will have a dimension of 10 x 10 feet for the participating organizations free of cost. However, the participating departments/institutions can have their own internal decoration etc. at their own cost for the exhibits etc..

One can confirm participation by mailing at [email protected] for participating at this mega-fest. Details are available at www.tezu.ernet.in

The fair is open for general people and science lovers and there are no entry or registration fee.
