FEDERATION OF FORMER CHILD SCIENTISTS - FFCS, INDIA

This is the first question which comes to the mind of everybody that what is FFCS. FFCS stands for “Federation of Former Child Scientists”. As the name suggests this will be a group of all the former child scientists’ means who have appeared at state or above level of CSC or a member of School Science Clubs. Here they will be trying for spreading scientific awareness and activities. The very basic motive behind starting and organizing the CSC every year was also the same. It is also the answer to the question “What after NCSC?” Yes a few of the projects are taken up by DST every year from the national level, even an opportunity is also given to all the projects that if they want to continue they may come up. But the question arises how many number of projects come up. Here FFCS will try to make an effort to channelize those potential ideas coming up through CSC or Science clubs that can be fruitful in the future. This is the answer to the question that what is the need of FFCS? Now more than 17 years have passed since organizing the NCSC and now this had merely being concentrated as a competition event more rather than developing the students or children’s as future science activists or scientists. This has to be done today and now. That’s from where FFCS comes. The mission of FFCS is of changing the society which the youth can do… 

We have found that now those former child scientists are excelling as scientists, teachers, doctors, engineers, administrators, etc. in their career. Then the question is why not to seek their contribution towards the development of the society and in creating awareness about the science. We expect that they will make effort of being instrumental in the development of the society. At their level they will try to create scientific awareness and if possible then some Research & Development also. We believe that R&D can’t be bounded and every small and big innovation contributes in the development of the society. Our effort is to provide a pool of experts and scientists in order to guide the former child scientists for the future.

The aim of FFCS is to start from where CSC and science clubs ends. Means conducting all those activities which they haven’t succeeded i.e. developing each and every child scientist into a science activist for the mission of changing the society which suffers from a lot of sufferings whether it is from sanitation, water related issues, global warming, illiteracy or implementation and making latest technologies available to a common man, etc. This is the need of today India, a developing India. We want a sustainable development and especially the students who are the future of tomorrow to take up their responsibilities to have a developed India.

It was also found that some of the former child scientists do carry out their scientific activities for sometime but due to lack of proper guidance and platform that energy and zeal die out. Here the question arises that if this is happening then why not to support, promote and nourish them though the activities of FFCS. We are trying our best to establish its state units in each and every state of our nation to make its activities more effective with your volunteer support.

Our vision will be to work together and not only raise voice but also identify, solve and make society aware about all their basic requirements with duties, issues and problems taking scientific methods and its awareness among them making them self dependent. We believe on SCIENCE, SCIENTIST & SOCIETY. Our question is: “Are you with us?”
