Jigyansa is the official science outreach club of IISER Berhampur, dedicated to making science accessible and engaging for a broad audience. The club's initiatives span across creating bilingual content, conducting outreach programs, and producing podcasts to bring science to local communities. The aim is to foster a deeper understanding of science, especially among underrepresented groups, by breaking down complex concepts into approachable and relatable formats.

In the latest episode of the Jigyansa podcast series, we had the privilege of interviewing Dr. Tirtha Pratim Das from ISRO. Dr. Das shared his insights into the importance of science outreach, delved into his experiences at ISRO, and emphasized how scientific exploration can inspire young minds and contribute to societal development. The conversation provided listeners with a unique view into ISRO’s mission and its role in advancing scientific awareness across India.
