achievable aspirations

The socio-economic and cultural context of grassroots innovators profiled in the START films provide an instant connect with our audience. Since they can connect better and see it as real-life, the aspirations created among the audience could just also be ‘achievable’ if tried enough.

 A scientific truth is not a truth for ever. It keeps changing. And that is precisely why keeping ‘searching about how it is changing’ is critical for science as well as for humanity to thrive.

FILMS & AUDIO FOR SCIENTIFIC TEMPER

Since 2012, we screen life-story films on formal as well as grassroots technological innovations from the hinterland of India with students. It has been our major activity which attempts to aid and enrich learning of scientific concepts. We called it as Search For Truth And Return To Science through Films and Audio for Scientific Temper (START FAST).
