How a top BTech College in Haryana inculcates scientific temper in the youth

Asking questions, gathering evidence, solving practical problems can help one develop a scientific outlook on life.  Scientific inquiry or scientific temper encourages students to think critically, challenge assumptions and investigate issues through research, observation and experimentation to improve our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Our physical / economic / environmental health and future benefits to humankind depend on our scientific progress. They depend on enhancing our understanding of the world in which we live.

"What is needed is the scientific approach, the adventurous and yet critical temper of science, the search for truth and new knowledge, the refusal to accept anything without testing and trial, the capacity to change previous conclusions in the face of new evidence, the reliance on observed fact and not on pre-conceived theory, the hard discipline of the mind—all this is necessary, not merely for the application of science but for life itself and the solution of its many problems."

        Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru in his book, The Discovery of India

Advances in science and technology are fundamental to innovation and progress. In the words of the Hon’ble President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee, “Innovation is the antidote to stagnation”. We need people with fresh perspectives, having important skills of flexibility, innovation and creativity making careers in science and research for the betterment of society and economic wealth of the nation.
