Bharatiya Vigyan Sammelan (BVS) is a flagship program of Vijnana Bharati initiated as a vehicle to reach the masses in the pursuit of popularising science and technology and to facilitate interactions within common people and scientific fraternity.
BVS is a conglomeration of scientist, artisans, technocrats, traditional innovators, students and common people planned once in two years. It has become an excellent platform to bring together whoever contributes to science and has become a new definition and identity in the field of scientific seminars and symposiums.
To date, Five Bharatiya Vigyan Sammelans have taken place starting from Bhopal (2007), Indore (2009), Jalandhar (2012), Panaji (2015), and Pune (2017).
