In the fast-paced world of today, science and technology have a major impact on our daily lives. It is, therefore, vital that we imbibe a scientific temper from an early age, especially the youth. The youth forms the backbone of any progressive society and it is essential to inculcate this scientific mindset among them for the growth and development of the nation. Thus, it is necessary to embark on a mission to promote scientific thinking among Indian youth. To create a scientific temper among Indian youth, we need to develop a new approach to education. This new approach should be built on the foundation of practicality and scientific reasoning. Students should be taught to look beyond rote memorization and instead encouraged to question the ‘what’ and the ‘why’ of everything. This approach will enable them to develop a logical and scientific mindset. Moreover, students should be provided with the necessary equipment, resources and tools to foster hands-on scientific experimentation and exploration. Furthermore, Indian youth should be exposed to a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines. This is necessary as it will allow them to expand their horizons and explore various scientific fields, eventually selecting the one that suits them best as per their aptitude, capability, and interest. By providing free access to online learning platforms, science programs, and scientific research articles, the youth can be exposed and educated in the latest scientific discoveries. It is imperative to prioritise creating a scientific temper among Indian youth to ensure we leave a leading, knowledgeable, and educated future generation equipped to shape India’s future.
