NCERT National Seminar on Science Education, Frontiers of knowledge are expanding very fast. Science is no exception. It is a dynamic, expanding body of knowledge, covering ever-new domains of experience. In a progressive society, science can play a truly liberating role, helping people escape from the vicious cycle of poverty, ignorance and superstition.
The advances in science and technology have transformed traditional fields of work such as agriculture and industry and led to the emergence of new fields of work. People today are living in an increasingly fast-changing era where the important skills of innovation and creativity are very much needed for the sustainable development of society.
These different imperatives have to be kept in mind in shaping new generations through quality science education. NCERT National Seminar on Science Education

Location: Ajmer is well-known all over India as a historical and religious place of pilgrimage as well as an educational hub. It owes this reputation partly due to the Regional Institute of Education. The Institute is situated about 6 km away from Ajmer Railway Station in the midst of idyllic surroundings with the historic Anasagar Lake in front and the Aravali Hills all around.
It is almost equidistant from the world-famous Dargah of Khawaja Moinuddin Chisti and Teerthraj Pushkar. The distance of the Institute from the city bus stand is about 6 km. Auto and Taxi services are available from both the places (Railway Station and Bus Stand). Ajmer city is well connected with the trains from major cities of the country.
