Bharath, the land of eternal knowledge which churned out the secrets of material as well as metaphysical world, is becoming an important global player. The materialistic world around, weary of the ever increasing competition, is hopefully listening to her wisdom of Vedas and Upanishads. But can she rise to the occasion and lead the nation states to a sustainable world order? Does she have her inner strengths that gave birth to the Vedas and Upanishads still intact?
The womb that gave birth to Veda Vyasa, Adi Shankara, Varahamihira, Aryabhata, Shusrurha and Bhaskara had become sterile. After Sir C.V. Raman, we have none to be proud of among the golden array of Nobel Laureates. Apart from J.C. Bose, M.N. Saha and few others, we are in bankruptcy of scientific talents. We neither try to understand the treasure of our traditional wisdom nor generate modern scientific and technological innovations with strong philosophical base. Though the thoughts and dreams are sprouting among the crores, which is plenty enough to make this county an unchallengeable one in science, technology and engineering, the move is not gaining ample momentum.
With immense resources and indomitable manpower, Bharath is now searching for a movement to co-ordinate and collaborate all the patriotic, nationalistic science initiatives around us. Vijnana Bharati, the positive science movement with a unique ideology strongly based on Indian ethos and culture, is having in its front this great mission.

Vijnana Bharati, has planned to organize a national meet of young
scientists of the country below the age of 35 years every year. It
will provide a platform to youngsters to discuss and disseminate
their findings and research work at the national level. This year
the responsibility has been bestowed upon Vigyan Bharati, Haryana to
organize the meet in association with the National Institute of
Technology (NIT) Kurukshetra.
Apart from the paper
presentations, there will be group level meetings of participants
having diversified interests. These meetings will be led by senior
scientists of different organizations and R & D institutions. A
panel of experts from different fields will participate in this meet
to observe and guide the Indian youth in the right direction.
The main objectives of this meet are: To bring
together the young scientists of the country engaged in research in
the field of science and technology; To create awareness and giving
exposure to the younger generation about the scientific and
technological needs of the country; To have the interface between
senior scientists and technocrats and the young scientific
community; To synchronize the social needs with the existing and
forthcoming research work in the country; Familiarising the
youngsters with the achievements of the country's R&D institutions;
To identify the young and creative minds and encourage them with
proper support and guidance; To raise the quality and level of
research in various fields; To encourage the multidisciplinary
interactions <

I see the future of Vijnana Bharati beautifully embedded in its name itself. The future of Vijnana Bharati is 'Bharatiya Vijnana' and we will try to bring it to the fore not only in the Indian context but also in the entire world context. Vijnana Bharati stands for the synthesis of science and spirituality for the service of humanity. We have three flagship programs, name Bharatiya Vijnana Sammelan, World Congress of Vedic Sciences and the World Ayurveda Congress, complemented by a spectrum of conferences, workshops and events covering research, education and extension. Our publications, particularly the well received 'Science India' should reach out to more and more young minds who hold the key to India's future. This year we are introducing a new program called Jnan-Vijnan Pratibha Pariksha (JVPP) along with ETH Research Lab and in this process we plan to reach thousands of schools.
We are creating and building a next generation organization that is a cluster of autonomic and empowered Prant hub units connected to their Division and District units, networked with Central HQ managed by its Governing Council. Vijnana Bharati cluster must extend to all district of India before 2010. It must also start reaching out beyond the shores of India. This is a big challenge but certainly doable with our dedicated band of people.
Vijnana Bharati is bringing science to the people and promoting grassroot innovations to solve the burning problems of India. It will especially empower women to take their rightful role in promotion and use of science to solve their special problems.
I believe the 21st century belongs to India and in this context Vijnana Bharati has a special role to play of endowing a new integral vision to Indian science making it holistic and people focussed. On behalf of the newly elected Govering Council, Founder Patron Prof. K. I. Vasu, Secretary General Prof. Vijay Didodkar and Organizing Secretary Shri A. Jaykumar who will captain the ship of Vijnana Bharati on its voyage of national transformation, I seek your full commitment and dedication to the mission Vijnana Bharat.
