Scientific Foresight is a vow to restore Bihar's rightful place as the center for intellectual discourse.

Bihar is known for its ancient knowledge culture as is reflected in Nalanda and Bikramshila Universities.


However what makes this event unique is the participation of a large number of students. The event is a result of the efforts of students from the region encouraged by the professionals from industry connected through various online channels.
