IISF was a celebration of homegrown science–ISRO’s cosmic exhibit to CSIR’s purple revolution

ISRO's stall displayed information on Chandrayaan-3 and Aditya-L1, whereas another exhibit displayed a ‘cost-effective’ method to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

New Delhi: At a walk-in exhibit with huge styrofoam models of viruses, test tubes, and agar plates, students watched in fascination as an instructor explained how vaccines were made. They nodded in unison as she cited the example of Covaxin, an indigenously manufactured Covid-19 vaccine. “I got a Covaxin shot! Wow, so this is how they made it?” a 12-year-old boy from Nanded excitedly discussed with his classmates.
The exhibit by the Translational Health Science and Technology Institute was one among hundreds at the India International Science Festival in Haryana’s Faridabad, which paid tribute to the country’s scientific and technological journey.
