PREFACE
Vigyan Prasar (VP) is an autonomous organisation under the Department of
Science and Technology, Govt. of India to take up large-scale science
popularization activities in the country. Its objective is to promote and propagate
scientific and rational outlook and to act as a resource-cum-facility centre for
S&T communication.
VP is involved in the development and dissemination of variety of resource
material (books, scripts, audio-visual programmes, learning kits etc.) on S&T
popularization in different Indian languages. In the various stages of the
development of resource materials and to organise capacity building programmes
on science communication, VP invites experts, specialists, resource persons,
writers and translators, science communicators and other professionals from
different parts of the country to take their services on popular science writing,
translation in Indian languages, editing of popular science material etc.
For better utilization of country’s science writers, editors, translators, film makers
and media professionals associated with science communication, VP has
developed this Database of Science Communicators in India in collaboration with
Manpower Management Centre, New Delhi.
The database would not only help the institutions engaged in science
communication to search suitable experts / resource persons working in various
fields of science communication but also it would trigger the work of science
communication in Indian languages at grass-root level.
We hope that the Database of Science Communicators in India would be a
repository and act as a resource pool which may be used by other departments
and institutions and scientific bodies.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Manpower Management Centre (MMC) gratefully acknowledges the collaboration
and financial support provided by Vigyan Prasar (VP) to conduct this project titled
‘Science Communicators in India: 2013”.
Prof. Y L Nangia, Director, MMC personally expresses his gratitude to the Chairman,
Er. Anuj Sinha and other Members of the Project Advisory Committee (PAC) which was
constituted to guide the project work. All of them provided their precious time to
attend PAC meetings and provided their guidance and expertise which was of immense
value. Their names are listed in the beginning of the Database.
MMC also thankfully acknowledges the important inputs given in the beginning of the
database project by Dr. S. Mahanti, the then Acting Director, Vigyan Prasar. The
research & administrative support given by Mrs. Kinkini Dasgupta Mishra, Scientist ‘F’
and Mr. Nimish Kapoor, Scientist ‘D’ from Vigyan Prasar from time to time is also
hereby appreciated and acknowledged.
MMC is grateful to all the Heads of Scientific & Technical Organizations, Heads of
Universities & Colleges, IITs, IIITs, R&D Organisations, Newspaper & Media agencies,
who circulated our request to their Scientists, Faculty & Staff, Journalists etc., for filling
in our questionnaire. Our sincere thanks to all the individual respondents who have
become a part of this Database as a Science Communicator by being involved in their
career in the activities related to Science Communication and Science Popularization.
The task of preparing this Database was tough, challenging and time bound but was
carried out ungrudgingly by all the academic, technical & other staff members of MMC
i.e. Software Engineers, Research Team and Administrative & Account Assistants.
Director, MMC sincerely acknowledges their coordinated efforts and more especially
the overall conduct and supervision of the project provided by our Senior Research
Officer - Ms. Kalpana Missar. Without her help it would have been difficult to complete
this task.

DATABASE OF
SCIENCE COMMUNICATORS IN INDIA: 2013
OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
***
The objectives of this project were as under:
1. To collect information from Indian Nationals in India and/or
abroad, on their Personal Background, such as Name, Age,
Address, Tel. No., Mobile No., E-Mail ID, Fax No. etc., of
Science journalists, script writers, reporters and
communicators
dealing
with
science
popularization
tasks/activities. Freshers who have qualified science
communication course & freelancers irrespective of either
having or not the science communication background but have
proven
experience of writing on the subject of science
communication and/or science popularization tasks/activities,
also to be contacted and included in this database.
2. To collect information on their Academic Background such as
Educational Qualification, Area(s) of Specialisation in science
communication.
3. To collect information on their Career Profile such as Total Job
Experience in science communication; On-Job expertise in
science
popularization
tasks/acitivities;
Training
Programmes/Seminars
in
Science
Communication
conducted/attended, No. of Research Projects undertaken i.e.
Completed & Ongoing; Languages known and No. of Papers
written, their titles & indicating the language in which published
in National & International Journals & Newspapers etc; National
& International Awards/Achievements received in science
popularization tasks/activities. Also to collect information about
the No. of Special Task Committees on which served and/or
now associated.

DATABASE OF
SCIENCE COMMUNICATORS IN INDIA: 2013
READERS ARE REQUESTED TO GO THROUGH THE FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES/LIMITATIONS/OBSERVATIONS
BEFORE LOOKING AT ANY ENTRY
IN THE DATABASE
1.
Age has been calculated as on 01.01.2013.
2.
Academic Background: As far as possible the Qualification has been
indicated in order of highest degree attained by a respondent.
3.
Area(s) of Specialization: Some of the respondents ignored the approved
list of 19 areas of specialization mentioned in the Questionnaire and indicated
their field of experience/specialization under job assignments. These have
been properly switched over under the said title.
4.
Languages Known: Some of the respondents, despite filling up their
Questionnaires in “English” did not mention this language under this title and
nor did they reply later to our query on this aspect. Hence, English has been
added up in their datasheet basing it on their academic background and field
of experience.
5.
Job Experience: Under the title “Career Profile” the completed number of
years of experience have been shown. However, to maintain consistency,
only preceding 5 years of employment details have been indicated in the
database irrespective of the higher number of years of experience one holds.
However, to maintain continuity of a designated job, it may in some cases be
more than 5 years.
6.
Incomplete Questionnaires: A number of respondents did not fill up the
questionnaire completely. These respondents were sent questionnaire twice
again with a request to completely fill it up. Some of them did respond back
and their entries were completed in the database. Even the draft crystal
report of the database generated through software was also sent to
all the respondents by e-mail twice for their perusal and
modification, if any. The entries of those who responded were modified.
Some of the incomplete entries have been retained keeping in view their age
and long experience. This has been done with a view that these respondents
may like to furnish their complete information at a later stage.
iii
7.
8.
Facility to update the datasheet: Respondents who wish to get their
entry included afresh in the Database and/or those who want to update or
get their existing entry modified, can do so by sending a mail at writing to
the Director, Vigyan Prasar, A-50, Institutional Area, Sector-62, NOIDA –
201 309 (U.P.).
Expected Benefits: This database document will serve as a useful source of
information for scientists, technologists, academicians, implementing
institutions, planners and policy makers. The database will also demonstrate
to students in schools and colleges the kind of opportunities available in the
field of science communication and also that there is a cadre of excellent
science communicators in India. Their profiles will also serve the purpose of
role models to inspire & attract students in selecting a career in science
communication.
The services of the listed Science Communicators can be made use of by
various government and non-government agencies in diverse areas like
evaluation/comments on science popularization tasks/activities, associate
them as members of different task committees, training programmes &
seminars etc.
