Along with government organizations, Vijnana Bharati has been a consistent organizing partner of IISF since the inception of this event.

The ‘Mega Science and Technology Exhibition’ will showcase the accomplishments and success stories of India in the field of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).

In the expo, various technologies developed by Indian Scientific and R&D Institutions across the country have been kept on display for all four days of the festival to show and educate students, scientists, and the general public.

The ‘Make in India, Make for the World’ event aims to attract national as well as international organizations involved in manufacturing, technology, and logistics to discuss about things required to make India a global manufacturing hub.
