The CSIR-National Metallurgical laboratory (NMl), Burmamines and National Academy of Sciences have decided to felicitate science teachers in their attempt to promote scientific temperament in the society.
The Jharkhand chapter of National Academy of Sciences, Allahabad in collaboration with NMl has instituted an award, ‘The Best Science Teacher Award’ from 2017. Teachers who have knack for science as fun and have preferred out of the classroom teaching can get the opportunity to be recognised to motivate for making science easier for students.
The objective of the award is to recognise a teacher every year, teaching science in high schools or higher secondary schools or intermediate colleges and other equivalent institutions.
The award will include a cash prize of Rs10,000 and a citation will be handed over to the selected teacher(s) during Science Day Function at CSIR NMl, Jamshedpur that is scheduled in February 2017.
