5. Organizational and functional set up for the implementation of the

Project:

Karnataka State Council for Science and Technology (KSCST) was established in the year 1975. It is one of the first State S&T Council to be set up in the

country. KSCST is an autonomous S&T organization under Department of Science & Technology, Government of Karnataka and Department of Science

& Technology, Government of India.

The Council has chosen many areas like Energy, Agriculture, Water, Housing, Waste management, Health and Education for its activities. The Council has

completed several projects in these areas such as Low cost housing, Zoning atlas, Mapping for use in district administration, Water resources development, Hand pumps for drinking water wells in villages, Design of novel

biogas plants, Solar energy applications - Solar collectors, Solar pond, Gasifiers, Design of high efficiency cooking stove (ASTRA Ole), Setting up of rural energy centres, Innovative use of sisal plant etc. The recent major

initiatives of the Council for societal benefits include Rainwater Harvesting, Karnataka State Spatial Data Infrastructure, Watershed Management and

Digital mapping of Hampi - a heritage site, Student Project Program, Biofuel and Bioenergy activities, Implementation of Virtual Classroom in High

Schools, Student Project Programme (SPP) and other S&T activities.

The Council has constantly involved several institutions and governmental agencies to identify research areas of major concerns in sectors such as

Housing, Energy, Water supply, Ecology, Environment, Industries and Rural employment. The Council has evolved a methodology of conducting workshops with participation of leading scientists, administrators and technocrats to

identify problems faced in the state in each area and to formulate research

projects based on these identified problems.

The Council has undertaken several path breaking programs in the area of Energy. To name a few, it has setup a rotor windmill for pumping water at Ungra, a community biogas service unit supplying water and electricity in

Pura, Energy Parks in different parts of the state, Solar water heating systems in several places and identification of potential sites to establish wind farms.

KSCST: Project Completion Report NMD 2017 & NSD 2018 Page 6

It has also set up Microhydel stations at Elaneer village in Dakshina Kannada

district and Vanachalu village near Mercara, which uses a modern technology

of cross flow turbines.

The Council has assisted the state in district level planning in 30 districts through setting up of Natural Resources Data Management System (NRDMS) centers in these districts. These centers use modern scientific tools like

Geographic Information System (GIS) and spatial data support system for identifying locations with problems like drinking water supply, location of

hospitals, schools, etc. This helps in empowerment of local bodies of governance in optimal use of resources. Recently, under Karnataka State Spatial Data Infrastructure (KSSDI), a project undertaken jointly with

Department of Science and Technology, Government of Karnataka and Government of India, the Council has launched ‘Karnataka Geoportal’ wherein any interested person / institution can access, discover, publish geospatial

data of the state, such as administrative boundaries, thematic maps,

infrastructure facilities etc.

Rainwater Harvesting is one of the important programs of the Council. The Council is running a “Help Desk” jointly with BWSSB, to promote Rainwater Harvesting in Bangalore City. The Council has conducted state-level survey

on treatment of municipal solid and liquid wastes and their recycling. The Council has participated in the identification of research Programs in the area

of biodiversity and has involved in identifying the problems and strategies for S&T inputs in various sectors. Patent Information Centre (PIC) has been functioning to bring awareness about Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) among

scientific and student communities and to assist in filing patent applications.

One of the major objectives of the Council has been to improve the quality of

education in our colleges and, in view of this the council has initiated

Academic and Industrial Interaction Cell.

b) Mathematics Workshop for High School Teachers and PU Faculty

in Sagara taluk

KSCST and Sagar Science Forum, Sagara, Shimogga district are organising

Mathematics Workshop for High School Teachers and PU Faculty in Sagara

taluk on 1st July 2018. The workshop involves the discussion and interaction

on present scenario of Mathematics Learning in Schools and colleges in India

as also in the international arena, transforming the present examination

approach among students to learning approach inspite of the existing various

factors and effective methods to upgrade the teaching techniques periodically.

About 60 teachers teaching mathematics for the grade 8 to 10 will be

participating in the workshop.

c) Design, Development and Prototype making of Mathematical Toys

There has been alarming fall in the number of students opting for science

stream in the schools and colleges in the country. While the employment

opportunity is the reason for this fall lack of innovations in teaching of science

and mathematics at school level is one of the major reasons. Hence, there is

an urgent need for the paradigm shift in the teaching methodologies in the

school across the country. To achieve this it is very important to connect the

mathematical concepts taught in class room to the physical world by building

the mathematical toys to convey the mathematical concepts to the school

children. In this connection, KSCST in collaboration with Uravu Indigenous

Science & Technology Centre, Wayanad, Kerala are developing the

mathematics toys using bamboobased on the design description given by Shri.

V.S.S.Shastry, National Awardee, Origami Expert.

c) Workshop on Mathematical syllabus for High School teachers in

different locations of Karnataka

KSCST in collaboration with NGO and other Science Centres organising two

day workshop on Mathematical syllabus for Government high school teachers.

The workshop will be organised in Mangaluru, Davangere, Raichur, Dharwad,

Belagavi and Kalaburagi districts. Around 70 high school teachers will be

participating in each workshop.
