It is our great pleasure to announce Department of Science & Technology (DST), GOI sponsored Innovation in Scientific Pursuit for Inspired Research (INSPIRE) Science Internship Camp to be held in Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University, from April 19-23, 2010. INSPIRE is an innovative program of DST for attraction of talent to science. The basic objective of the INSPIRE camp is to communicate to the young attendees the excitement of creative pursuits of science and attract talent to the study of science at an early stage and build the required critical human resource pool for strengthening and expanding science and technology system in R&D base.
