Science India Forum (SIF) is an initiative by Vijnana Bharati, to inculcate
scientific temper in the young minds and lead them into the area of
research and development. India and the world at large is experiencing a
vacuum in the R&D field and this could lead to an era of no innovations
for the betterment of the society.

The Science Talent Search Contest (Sastra Pratibha Contest) conducted
every year is one such activity which has gained popularity among
the students in Bahrain. This year we introduced the second level
screening to give a different exposure to the young talents. This
talent search is no doubt a valuable opportunity for the younger
generation to present their innate talents and capabilities.
SIF Bahrain is a platform to nurture their skills as future scientists
and researchers, also help them to move further in their chosen
field of science and technology.

Vijnana Bharati takes this opportunity to congratulate the
winners of the contest, parents, teachers and the management
of institutions and also for the continuous support given
to SIF Bahrain. The efforts put by the Bahrain team to
inculcate science and technology among school children is
praiseworthy.

With Best Regards
