The programme will be of two weeks duration during summer holidays (May 11-22, 2020) and the schedule will include invited talks, experience sharing by the eminent scientists, facility and lab visits, exclusive sessions for discussions with experts, practical and feedback sessions, ISRO said.

YUVIKA was mentioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his 62nd Mann Ki Baat radio programme on February 23. "During the launch of Chandrayaan 2 in Bengaluru I witnessed tremendous enthusiasm among children present there. They kept awake all the night. I can never forget their inquisitiveness towards science, technology and innovation," he said.

About YUVIKA, the PM said, "YUVIKA is a laudable initiative by ISRO for associating the youth with science."

"This programme is in the line of our vision-Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan, Jai Vigyan, Jai Anusandhan," he added.

ISRO has thanked the PM for including YUVIKA in his radio programme. "In order to have greater participation, we would like to extend the date for registration by 10 days," it has tweeted.
