If you do a Google search …
But if the Google search is slightly different…
Science in Bengali! What rubbish!
Why bother with that search? There
is not much out there.
Regional languages are dead. Can we agree on that?
Bigyan (bigyan.org.in) is a premier medium to
popularize science in Bengali.
Bigyan started its journey in 2014 on National
Science Day (28th February).
Since then, the website has
published 300+ popular
science articles!
Articles on the latest trends in research,…
…Some gems from Bengali popular science
literature…
…And in-depth look into current research.
Most writers are well known scientists…
…And every article is published after a rigorous
peer-review process.
Who is `Bigyan’ for? Students,...
Teachers,...
Science
lovers of
every
age,....
Anyone who wants to be aware of
current trends in science.
Page views of Bigyan have crossed 1.45 million!
Readers of Bigyan are all over the world but
mainly in West Bengal, Tripura and Bangladesh.
Not only online articles, we also started podcasts, …
Wherever our learners are, we go with them.
Not only online articles, we also started live interviews
on Facebook, …
Wherever our learners are, we go with them.
Not only online articles, we also started visual stories,
…
Wherever our learners are, we go with them.
Not only online articles, we also started print magazines.
Wherever our learners are, we go with them.
The workshops were organized in collaboration with the Indian
Association of Physics Teachers (IAPT) and Contai Science Academy
(CSA)
We have also organized workshops to promote
critical thinking and hands-on activities in
classrooms.
In collaboration with high school teachers in
India, we have tried to promote education
research based pedagogy, such as real time
feedback using clickers.
In this quest to spread science, we have received help from
many friends in Bengal…
To maintain this enormous repertoire of
activities, we have taken help of some freelancers
in India: writers, editors, artists, video creators.
We have also revamped the Bigyan website in
2022.
To continue these activities and serve millions of
students, we need your support!

Thank you for your continuous support.
