STAFF REPORT ISB:Pakistan Council of Science and Technology (PCST) in collaboration with Technology Times will soon launch Pakistans first Science Channel, to popularize the science and technology subjects through disseminating the relevant information and latest progress to students and common people.
“The project named TechTV.pk has recently started its beta version. Once launched, the channel will cover science and technology educational activities across the country,” informed Chairperson PCST Dr. Mudasar Asrar told this scribe.
She said this television channel can prove to be very useful, easy to access at anytime from anywhere and users can access a significant amount of information with reference to any topic in a short time, regardless of geographic barriers, allowing them to consult different point of views as well as hands-on experience through different DIY (do it yourself) projects.
It would also popularize science for laymen and students, seeking to cultivate the spirit of scientific inquiry and the love of learning in its audience.
