This involve close and keen observation, raising pertinent questions, building models, predicting solutions on basis of models, trying out various possible alternatives and arriving at an optimum solution using experimentation, field work, research and innovative ideas. NCSC encourages a sense of discovery of child scientists. National Council for Science and Technology Communication (NCSTC) aspire to popularise S&T among school students by exhibitions and demonstrations, training of resource persons particularly teachers, field projects etc. NCSC encourages children to observe, explore, experiment and wonder through a project activity and its associated ways of participation and evaluation rightly takes care of the guiding principles of next generation science learning. The NCSC is unique programme that motivates children in the age group of 10-17 years, to take-up scientific research on local specific issues of their choice under broad themes, instead of imposing issues on them. NCSC programme is an activity towards promoting congenial team work, correlating science with everyday life situations. The focal themeof NCSC for the year 2016 and 2017 has been finalized as "Science, Technology & Innovation for Sustainable Development". This has been very inspiring and engaging among children and the community, linking the socially relevant current research issue with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The Activity Guide Book on this broad theme and sub-themes will be distributed widely among the organising and technical coordinators and guide teachers which will help them throughout the programme. Competition and recognition of merit is introduced at district, state and national level. My best wishes to all of the Child Scientists and the teachers. New Delhi (Dr. Bhanu Pratap Singh) Scientist ‘G/ Head (NCSTC) Dated: 6 A Note from National Programme Coordinator Ms. Ujjwala Tripti Tirkey Scientist ‘F/ Director, NCSTC & National Programme Coordinator. The National Children's Science Congress (NCSC) is flagship programme initiated in 1993 has reached to 23 years with its great success. It is organised nationally every year from December 27-31. It is forum for 10-17 years age children from urban/ rural area of different state. NCSC programme is not necessarily a school-based programme but it is open to all non-formal systems of education besides out of school and disabled children. NCSC programme is not only limited to Government, Private and Public school but also extended to Kendriya Vidhyalaya Sangathan and Navodaya Vidhyalaya Samiti. All over the country about a million children take part in this unique event every year, from which about 650 projects come to national level. This programme is become popular in ASEAN countries with their participation by delegates. NCSC programme has covered the topics like Environment, Nutrition, Clean-up India, Water Resources, Biodiversity, Land Resources, Energy, Weather and Climate during its 23 years of great success and also grow up with innovative ideas of Child scientist through their innovative Project work on a variety of highly relevant local issues of above topics. NCSC has announced “Science, Technology & Innovation for Sustainable Development” as a focal theme for the year 2016 & 2017 with an expectation that the child scientist will be introduced to inquiry based learning approaches in project mode. Sustainable development (SD) is a process for meeting human development goals while maintaining the ability of natural systems to continue to provide the natural resources and ecosystem services upon which the economy and society depend. We are planning to engage child scientist and our teachers to work on Sustainable development goals to become change maker and to change their future. The Activity Guide Book on (Science, Technology & Innovation for Sustainable Development as a focal theme for the year 2016 & 2017) is brought out with the great efforts of the Experts, Resource Persons, State Academic Coordinator and further involvement State Resource Person involved in the brainstorming session and participated in the National Orientation Workshop. We hope that the Activity Guide Book will help the State and District Coordinators, Resource Persons, Teachers Guide and Evaluators to carry out the activity, resulting the valuable and potential project ideas that come up in different level of NCSC. Any suggestion with regard to improvement in the Activity Guide Book is always welcome. My best compliments to all child scientists and heir guide teachers.
