CSIR Jigyasa Virtual Lab (CJVL) is an extension of CSIR Jigyasa program. The successful launch and abundance interest towards CSIR Jigyasa resulted in setting up the virtual lab. Due to pandemic students could not visit the labs to get value added research exposure by scientists. Hence Honourable Prime Minister encouraged for developing a Virtual Lab so that science can further be taken to all segments of the students from each and every corner of the country. A concept note was developed and a task force committee was setup by CSIR Director General. Research survey was carried out by CSIR-NCL on the existing Indian and International virtual labs and a study was conducted on the NEP & STIP policies. Discussion meetings and presentations were made. In 2020, a pilot phase of six months was carried out by the CSIR laboratories for developing fun activities based on science for students. The software development is outsourced to IITB, Mumbai on an MOU signed between CSIR-NCL and IITB. The pilot phase of CJVL successfully ended on 31st March, 21. The objective of CJVL is to create scientific models and make them interesting to students so that students can engage with science by having fun. This platform offers free access to students online as well as offline. The platform consists of dual potential namely Jigyasa and Virtual lab thus upgrading it to higher version 2.0. It boosts to encourage and inculcate culture of inquisitiveness, critical thinking on one hand and technology oriented thinking, self-learning, scientific temper on the other. It will continue with existing engagement modules and also offer newer modules to retain student enthusiasm.
