ISLAMABAD, Feb 23 (APP): Pakistan Council of Science and Technology (PCST) in collaboration with Technology Times will soon launch Pakistan’s 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 in addition”, Chairperson PCST Dr Mudasar Asrar told APP, here on Sunday.

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. “Main objective of this web TV is to promote scientific culture and the youth’s interest in science, technology and innovations.

The channel would also popularize science for laymen and students, seeking to cultivate the spirit of scientific inquiry and the love of learning in its audience,” she added. Dr Mudasar said the channel will use interactive and innovative programmes for this purpose. It will complement formal education and will surely inspire the youth to pursue careers in science. “TechTV.Pk will cover all events from Pakistan, related to science and technology educational activities. It will also offer free online courses of web application development, DIY projects, project management and other science and technology topics”.

well, after I got your message, I went through my TV Channels and I came across only "Gyan Darshan" and "DD Vyas". Both are IGBOU/UGC/state Higher Education channels(showing Arts, Sc./commerce, mainly through discussions or simple +2 level class room study etc.). Actually no dedicated Science Channel of our own, except the foreign channels with India tag (Discovery India, NatGeo India and many plethora of foreign Sc.Channels.

Sadly our own Sc. Ch. is long due, I think!!

I didnt know of gyan darshan and DDvyas.
I am surprised....star network/ NDTV/zee network none of them have a science channel ...I mean a proper commercial science channel like discovery/History channel/Natgeo.

Great news.

The key is to make it interesting and engaging. Without entertaining content, no one will watch it - take cue from the likes of National Geographic, Discovery, etc.
