What will India be like in 2001 ?
A very interesting article in August 1989 issue of 2001 (ScienceToday) !!
"What will India be like in 2001 ? Ten luminaries answer".
Seven questions were posed, and all the 10 luminaries (Dr. S.Ramani, et.al. ) answered.
Anyone interested to know the questions and what they answered ?
Make a study as to how they predicted !
( I am sorry, I cannot reproduce all the pages here.. Its too long ! )

Science Today .... > ..... 2001
Science Today was renamed as :
2001
incorporating Science Today
from April 1988.
Why did they change the name ????? I'll try to answer (let me go through again !!).
If any of you have an idea about this, please post it here.
Can any of you clarify this :
Did any magazine (any publication ) any time, change its name in its life ??

ST and humour
Science Today had a good sense of humour. It dealt also with S&T of humour and humour in S&T.
Please see some of the early cartoons !
Prasanna
"Science Today" is not Science yesterday !
“SCIENCE TODAY” is not about 'Science yesterday'. It certainly is about Science today too.
As I had mentioned earlier, ST deals with the then latest of Science and Technology (1966-1991).
After this many years, some of you may feel, the articles are irrelevant or obsolete !! But that’s not the case. All contents of ST are relevant even today. Not only that; some of the articles are so interesting (sweet ! ) and nostalgic !
It is interesting to go through the articles; how the technology was those days, compared to those today. This itself is an excellent study ; How the Science and Technology grew over the last 4 decades.
For the youth today, ST is an excellent media to understand how S&T was for their parents, at their youth. Is it not exciting ? !
ST has been presenting the basic science and technology in a very simple format, in language and presentation. Well structured (edited), the articles had all necessary illustrations, with photographs as well.
ST definitely has the reputation of being simple and digestible to the common man. The data are accurate, and authoritative.
“SCIENCE TODAY” is not science yesterday ! Its truly relevant today too.
“ST” magazine, per say, may be history. But its contents are certainly current, with a historical flavour ! My attempt here is to relive “Science Today” !

"Science Today" : an invaluable treasure of knowledge on Science and Technology.
Hi all,
I had given a hint to you that this is a complete collection of the magazine "SCIENCE TODAY" ( from Times of India group, Bombay) published during 1966 to 1991. Now I am re-doing a verification of the status of the collection ( a couple of issues are missing it looks !!). But, this is not just a collection of old issues of a magazine. This is a unique asset/knowledge resource created over time, taken care with effort, money, and dedication.
Now, this treasure is available to all of you. My objective is to share this unique resource with all those needy person.
Whoever and wherever you are, this is available to you. But how ?
1. You tell me a topic; I can search for this item in ST, and let you know.
2. You ask for a photocopy of a page, an article, an issue in full, OR even the whole collection.
3. I can send you the copies through courier.
4. I can mail their images (taken with a digital camera) to you.
{ But, kindly note that searching, copying , photographing, courier etc.. involves effort, time, and cost. So, you may have to bear its cost - a very nominal one.
However, one or two pages, as an image, can be emailed to you absolutely free. }
I had mentioned about the photos of some of the cover pages, for you to see. But, the photos could not be uploaded. It always gives me an error messages. Sorry for that. Today I shall try with a low resolution image .

SCIENCE TODAY - Entertaining..Exciting...Instructive..
Right ! Really entertaining, with many regular articles, experiments, games, etc.. And educative as well.
It's exciting ! Even today, the articles are so exciting (even the cartoons ) . All the articles are simple, presented (written and drawn) in a simple, but serious style. Even children will enjoy reading and learning.
True, it's instructive ! All the items (put under various titles / departments) are relevant even today. You learn a lot by reading them. Remember, the contents are not just "old' or obsolete. They are all relevant and current even now. Except that some of them has the historial value too.
I shall put a few of the articles here, for you to read, learn, and enjoy. wait for those posts.
ST is an excellant reference library of Science and Technology. It is a "paalazhy" of information, and hence a very valuable knowledge resource.
ST can thus help you all ...Teachers, Students, researchers, and (as I told you last time), anyone
with an interest in Science and Technology.
I offer my services to get you the material from the ST issues (complete collection available with me @* ).
In the meanwhile, please have a look at some of the cover pages of ScienceToady !
Anyone listening ???

"Second Life" of Science Today
Hi all,
ST was born in August 1966. Grown, at the age of 22, ST had a rebirth. ST was renamed as :
The new name was from April 1988. It would be an interesting research into the life of ST, in its second life. I'll someother time post a study
(maybe, in a management angle !)

Welcome to "Science Today".
Awake and Arise all Scientific Communities .... !
I welcome you all to the wonderful and exciting world of a knowledge resource (treasure) : "Science Today". Scientists, Technologists, Researchers, Managers, Teachers, Students,
and all those interested in Science and Technology ... all will find something useful here.
Before I proceed...
Most of you may remember (be aware of) the Indian Science&Technology magazine titled "Science Today" ( a Times of India publication). Started publication in July 1966,
ScienceToday (hereafter called "ST" ), was very popular, and served the purpose of
educating (and making aware of ) Science and Technology to the millions of India.
However, younger generation may not be aware of this fantastic treasure of knowledge.
ScienceToday, as ToI says is "For Everyman".
True in all respects ; its for Everyone !
If anyone feels that the resources in ST are obsolete today (who wants 1966's data and knowledge ? ! ? !), then you are not right. What ST gives is precious ,
rare, and very very very useful. And interesting too !
I have the complete collection of this precious knowledge resource. Now, I think I can
share the ST resources with anyone in need. I shall post more details, in a day's time.
Are you interested ? Please post your comments and views.
