An inspiring interaction between Prof. Jainendra Jain @Janin_Physics and the students of the #LodhaGenius Programme with #IISERPune. The session was marked by insightful questions, lively discussions, and a shared excitement for scientific exploration. Our #congratulations to Prof. Jain on being awarded the 2025 #WolfPrize in Physics! We are honoured to have him visit us and interact with young students! Such opportunities to engage with leading scientists help nurture curiosity, critical thinking, and a lifelong passion for discovery among young learners! #LodhaGenius #IISERPune #STEAM #Education
Had a wonderful interaction with the brilliant and enthusiastic students of the Lodha Genius Program of @lodhafoundation at @IISERPune. The Q&A after my talk could easily have continued for another hour. With such students, the future of Indian science is exceptionally bright.

#YuvaSangam2026 #Day3 (June 6, 2026): Connecting with Nature, Heritage, and Leadership: Day-3 of the visit by the Andhra Pradesh delegation reflected the themes of #Paryavaran (Environment), #Parampara (Traditions) and #ParasparSampark (People-to-People Connect)! The day began with a Tree Walk and Tree Plantation drive at #IISERPune campus to appreciate #biodiversity and environmental #sustainability. Delegates explored the rich cultural heritage of Maharashtra through a visit to the iconic #ShaniwarWada and a #HeritageWalk through the historic streets of the Pune City. A special language session by Prof. Sonal Kulkarni-Joshi of Deccan College provided an engaging introduction to Maharashtra’s linguistic heritage. This was followed by enriching interactions with Honourable Ministers Shri Chandrakant Dada Patil and Smt. Madhuri Tai Misal. Shri Patil welcomed the delegates to experience the state of Maharashtra and appreciate both the shared and unique aspects of the two states. Smt Misal shared her perspectives on urban development and encouraged delegates to aim high while remaining connected to their roots. The day concluded with a special Maharashtrian dinner, giving delegates an opportunity to experience the state's rich culinary traditions while strengthening bonds of friendship and cultural exchange. @EduMinOfIndia @EBSB_Edumin @EBSB_YuvaSangam @AICTE_INDIA #EkBharatShreshthaBharat #AndhraPradesh #Maharashtra #YouthExchange #CulturalConnect
