In a bid to create awareness about the importance of Science, scientists from across the city have started reaching out to colleges to promote the event — March for Science — to be held on August 9. With the date fast approaching, scientists have also started putting up short videos and posts regarding the event on various social media platforms to ensure active participation of the youth.

March for Science is a global concept, and the event is usually held between April and May. While in previous years it was held in April in India, this time it has been scheduled for August in over 40 cities.
