BIOPIC FILMS ON INDIAN SCIENTISTS AS A SERIES: A PILOT PROJECT ON JAGADISH CHANDRA BOSE

Objective

Project Description

The number of PwD students at IIT Bombay’s campus is around 150-200. However, these students are not included in many of the activities on campus. It is, therefore, important to
sensitize the IITB community – students, faculty, staff, and others – towards the challenges faced by PwD students and the need for inclusion and diversity.

Project Details

Principal Investigator: Prof. Swati Pal and Prof. Sridhar Iyer

Cause Area/ Theme: Education

Budget: INR 15 Lakhs

Technology Readiness Level: NA

Project Duration: 1 Year

UN SGD No: 4

Expected Impact

There will be 5 workshops held every semester and each of them will target a different group. On average, the workshops are expected to include about 100 participants. The direct impact may be on around 1000 campus residents. But the secondary impact will be on a much larger number due to the ripple effect caused by the presence of several sensitized individuals in the population over a period of time.
