A community of scientists from the city plan to educate school and college students with the aim of enabling them to ask "questions" in society. The objective is to create a new generation, which will not believe anything at face value or trust without proof. A collective of scientists met in Mumbai today in solidarity with the global event, March for Science, and the Mumbai chapter revealed its plans for the year to create more awareness on how science is important for progress.

mid-day had earlier reported that scientists across the world are coming together against the attack on science. In India, where public figures, especially political leaders, are seen propagating pseudo-scientific statements such as "cow urine cures cancer", "Darwin theory is wrong", etc, scientists in India are standing up to the cause of science. The Mumbai chapter plans to create a new generation by holding workshops and lectures for school and college students, as revealed in their plan of action at Aadarsh Vidyalaya in Chembur.
