Panel Members
In 1996, the Indian Academy of Sciences constituted a Science Education Panel with members representing all major areas of science to conduct the science education programmes. The Panel is reconstituted once in three years, coinciding with the term of the Council. Since 2007, a Joint Science Panel representing members of all the three science academies is involved in conducting these programmes.
