The Third Technical Hindi Symposium (Takniki Hindi Sangoshthi) “Abhyuday-3” was successfully organised at the Indian Institute of Technology Indore, concluding today after a two-day programme. The symposium was jointly organised by Indian Institute of Technology Indore, Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur, and the CSIR–National Institute of Science Communication and Policy Research (CSIR–NIScPR), with the objective of promoting the use of Technical Hindi and strengthening science and technology outreach to society.
During the inaugural session, the symposium souvenir and related publications were released. The Director of IIT Indore highlighted the importance of Technical Hindi, effective science communication, and the need to bridge research and innovation with the general public.
Addressing the gathering, C. B.

He underscored CSIR–NIScPR’s longstanding contribution to Hindi science communication, including the publication of the popular science magazine Vigyan Pragati since 1952.
The symposium featured invited lectures on science, engineering, digital technologies, and innovation, along with two paper presentation sessions in which 25 participants presented their research in Hindi.
