We are happy that students are benefitting from the portal and you wish to spread the news of this novel initiative! In the downloads and links page we have a facility to send ‘e-invitation’. Here all you need to have is the name of the principal and the address of the school you wish to invite to register in the portal. You will have to manually type the above two information and submit. On doing this the system generates an e-invitation letter in a PDF format. This can either be color printed or e-mailed to the principal of the concerned school.

There is no need to worry. Your username and password can be retrieved by your teacher from the control page of your school’s home page. Just inform your teacher and please do write down your username and password somewhere so that you do not repeatedly disturb your teacher for the username and password.

www.scienceindia.in is presently aiming at school students only. However, students from college can contribute through volunteering in a very dynamic way. You can fill and submit the volunteer registration form available in the downloads and links part.
