Chennai: The Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IIT-Madras) is set to launch a tech magazine ‘IIT-Madras Shaastra’. The magazine will serve as a platform to showcase achievements in science, technology and innovation in India and abroad.
Shaastra is supported by 50,000 alumni and is developed by a team of professionals that aims to bring an Indian solution-driven perspective to developments in Science and Technology as well as their impact on society. The magazine will have both print and digital formats.
The magazine will feature a wide range of topics in S&T and developments in innovation happening in India and beyond. The readers will get the latest developments in S&T and their potential impact on society and industry in India.
The print edition of the magazine will be published every two months. The web version, however, can also be accessed online anytime at shaastramag.org. The IIT-Madras will open subscriptions for potential readers in India and foreign countries.
“Many institutes run journals, which contain academic peer-reviewed papers. But this is a different endeavour. Shaastra is a Science, Technology and Innovation magazine, something that was missing from India – and the entire world is our canvas. It will present an India-centric view,” IIT-Madras director, Professor Bhaskar Ramamurthi was quoted as saying by NDTV.
“There is a gap in the (S&T magazine offering) space and we thought we will fill this gap. It will be of great interest not only to students, faculty, academia and researchers but also practitioners, engineers at large, alumni and companies. This is a way of reaching out to the community. This is, therefore, an exciting new venture for us. We are fortunate to have put together a really solid editorial team to execute this,” the director said while congratulating the Shaastra team.
