abstract
Community science plays a major role in conducting and implementing scientific research and innovations at the gross root level. There are two key aspects involved in community science engagement and innovation that enable the creation of new solutions to the problems. Several institutes such as MANAGE, NAARM, NIRD&PR, EEI, NIN, ICMR, and ministries helped the community through different programs. As per the IV Dean’s Committee, the degree program has been changed, and new courses and awareness campaigns were introduced at the village level. Innovations are implemented at the institute level for the sake of students. Community science projects can not only gather valuable data but also foster a sense of shared ownership and excitement within the community.
