Description 110-120
During the pre-independence years, many scientific societies were
set up. Their mandate was to promote and popularise science
education, research, and communication. The present paper
intends to study different scholarly societies which came up in
India from 1900 to 1947 and earlier; the parameters of their
objectives, extension activities, publications and achievements
will be used to study the scholarly societies. The objectives of the
study are to highlight the scholarly societies which were set up
from 1784 to 1914, their contributions to the Swadeshi Science
Movement, activities for promoting science education and
research in the country and the scope of their publications and
their coverage in citation databases. The study showcases the
significant contributions of scholarly societies in promoting
science education and research in the country. The study validates
that the scholarly societies laid a robust foundation for the
country's present scientific institutions and science education.
