The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is putting on a unique programme for schoolchildren called “Yuva VIgyani KAryakram” (YUVIKA) or “Young Scientist Programme” to teach young pupils about space technology, science, and applications, particularly in rural areas.

The initiative intends to choose 150 kids from throughout the country who are in Class 11 as of March 1, 2022 and attend a school in India’s territory.

The application period for the programme began on March 10 and will close on April 10 at 4 p.m. On April 20, the provisional selection list for YUVIKA – 2022 will be announced. Candidates who are interested and qualified can apply online at isro.gov.in.
