First Question
The first question was launched on 28th February 2019, National Science Day as an outreach programme for answering questions that children ask. We welcome questions pertaining to all realms of Science and Nature and from all age groups. Questions are answered with the help of published articles on the subject, online portals and experts on the subject from various departments of KFRI as well as from other institutes. The helpline functions Monday through Friday from 9 30am to 5 30pm.
The first question was a response to our understanding that many of the interesting questions children ask are not taken seriously and that as the children grow up the number of questions they ask reduces drastically. We wish to hear the questions with all seriousness and provide scientific answers, encouraging them to ask further questions in the process.
Analysis of the questions received last year was presented in the 32nd Kerala Science Congress and was adjudged as the best oral presentation in the Science & Society category.
