Finally, on the basis of the performance of both written test and interview, a list of Junior scholars is announced.
Junior Scholarship Program : Since 1958, JBNSTS has been working with the objectives to identify, nurture and motivate the talented students to achieve their scientific goals and to develop their innovative minds. Through the work experience of more than five decades, JBNSTS realized that it would be more effective if we catch the students when they are very young. Thus JBNSTS took the initiative to start a Junior Talent Search Test from 2015 for class XI Science students of West Bengal.
Junior Bigyani Kanya Medha Britti : Even though India has achieved marvels in science and technology, gender inequality in the ambit of science still continuous to plague our society. Our nation produces large number of scientists and science professionals in the world yet paltry representation of girls in science education has been a pressing issue which is a result of discrimination prejudices and stereotypes in the society. The lack of girls’ participation in science at an early age is subjected to lack of awareness of science being meted out to them in school education.
Addressing the complexity of gender gap and the plight of young girls to study science in the high school standard in West Bengal, JBNSTS had initiated an exclusive program for the talented girl students of our state pursuing science in higher secondary framework of education. Since inception of this scheme in 2020 under support of Department of Science and Technology & Biotechnology, Government of West Bengal, this program has invoked admiration and appreciation from the girl science aspirants of our state. This program is also an encouragement for the parents to rear up their young girls.
