ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Prof. Shukla is a labor activist, writer and founder of "Jan Vigyan Samiti" and a leading figure in India's People's Science Movement (PSM). A former professor of Physics at IIT Kanpur, Prof. Shukla has made significant contributions to the philosophy of People's Science and has been active in labor movements and alternative development in India.
PEOPLE'S SCIENCE MOVEMENT
The
People's Science Movement has emerged as a vibrant nationwide movement
in India encouraging mass participation in matters of development,
including intervention in science-related policy formation. PSM has not
only made popularization of science a mass movement but mobilized the
public on social issues in which Science and Technology have a bearing.
PSM
has brought together students, school and college teachers, scientists,
professional experts, writers, workers, farmers, political activists
and thinkers on a single platform.
For more information on the history and work of PSM, read The Messengers of Science by R. Ramachandran, an article in Frontline, Vol:21 Issue 3, Feb. 13, 2004
