The India International Science Fair, backed by the Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), CSIR, Vijnana Bharati and the Swadeshi Science Movement, will pack about 11 programmes this year. The event will see international participation and global interactions in Goa, harnessing maximum benefit to the state students and in this regard, the CM has insisted the attendance of students from secondary schools to postgraduate level.

Reportedly, IISF 2021 will witness Goa create three Guinness Book World Records, with 5,000 local students participating in rainwater harvesting, another 7,000 in the conservation of water, along with the display of the world's biggest telescope. The CM has elaborated this event as a one-time opportunity to be on par with all the technological achievements of the country.

The IISF is conducted annually with the aim to promote a scientific temper across all strata of society and hopes to continue, with added festivities, in the coming times. While last year the event was held digitally with over 1 lakh delegates, the active vaccination and Goa's on-ground pandemic status has permitted combined physical and virtual operations this year.

The CM thanked the Minister for Science and Technology Government of India, for finalising Goa as the venue for the upcoming IISF-2021 and exuded confidence that the mega event will be a mega success.
