Mumbai: Many undergraduate degree college students are benefitiing from the National Initiative on Undergraduate Science (NIUS), a programme that is designed on the basis of proving that the India education system is not designed to breed scientists. In two years, NIUS has published 40 scientific articles through undergraduate students and thaey have been published in prestigious journals like the American Journal of Physics, Physical Review, Europhysics Letters, Physica and Physics Letters. "We started the NIUS in April 2004. Our aim is to expose students to the best in science and keep their interest alive," said Vijay Singh, National Coordinator, NIUS. "We also aim to keep them involved in producing science. Our efforts have started showing good results," added Singh. Another programme modelled after the NIUS is the Centre for Excellence in Basic Sciences (CBS), a joint initiative of the Department of Atomic Energy and Mumbai University. The IITs and the IIMs have produced talented youth before, who have made a difference nationally and internationally.
