Glimpses of National Science Drama Festival

Valediction of National Science Drama Festival

National Science Drama Festival (NSDF) is an event where one can experience the extraordinary fusion of science and drama in delivering scientific knowledge to the community in an accepted comprehensive manner. This event celebrates the power of drama to make complex concepts accessible, engaging and captivating audiences of all backgrounds.

NSDF showcases how drama can bring science to life through storytelling, dynamic performances, and creative stagecraft. By incorporating elements of theatre, such as dialogue and characterization, science dramas create relatable experiences that connect audiences to scientific ideas on an emotional level. The performances demystify scientific principles while entertaining and educating. They bridge the gap between the scientific community and public, fostering a greater appreciation and understanding of science. 

The Festival is organized by the National Council of Science Museums (NCSM) every year. It provides an opportunity to bring the students of different states, languages and cultures to explore theatre as a medium to express and communicate. Hence, we invite the institutions to guide and encourage their students to participate in this refreshing experiment of comprehending and communicating science ideas through this creative art-form.
