Our Patron
His Excellency The Ambassador of India to Qatar.
Our Vision
To create an excellent pool of younger generation who are much inclined to take up a career in scientific research
Our Mission
Create interest, guide young children to scientific excellence and educating them on the contributions made by great Indian Scientists.
Advancement in Science and technology is vital for the development of any nation. Statistics have shown that in India we have a dearth of scientists. Hence, we as volunteers felt a strong need to take up this challenge of promoting Science and Technology among the students of Indian schools in Qatar. Thus, was born Science India Forum (SIF), an organization by a group of professionals keen in popularization of science in 2005.
Science India Forum commenced its activities in 2006 to instill scientific temperament and provide resources and the platform to shape young minds towards research and development in Science and technology for aspiring scientists and inventors. Science India Forum-Qatar, is affiliated to the Indian Cultural Centre on 05th July 2015 as an associated organization and functioning under the aegis of the Embassy of India as a non-profit body. SIFQ activities has been recognized by the Department of Science and Technology, Govt. of India. SIFQ launched the NCSC program in association with DST India since 2015.
The SIF functioning is governed by an advisory committee and a Managing Committee that are elected for every two years.

For over a decade Science India Forum Qatar (SIFQ) has been comprehensively involved in providing opportunities to the Indian school students of Qatar to foster their scientific temperament through its various well-structured activities and competitions.SIFQ has truly helped the Indian student community in QATAR to reconnoiter beyond the realms of curiosity by kindling their interests to take up short guided science research projects.The specialized trainings and workshops that SIFQ conducts to empower the Indian teaching community in Qatar also deserve a special mention. I wish that SIF Qatar initiates and coordinates several other programs related to Science and Technology that would harness the unfathomed potentials of the young aspiring minds along with developing essential life skills.
