The Kerala Science Congress is an annual event conducted by the Kerala State Council for Science, Technology & Environment every year during the last week of January.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has impacted our nation in an enormous way, especially in public health concern which has brought social and economic life to a standstill. As the world grapples with the health and humanitarian crisis unleashed by the coronavirus, all the resources have been diverted for meeting the unprecedented crisis and the multi-sectoral impact have slowed down the economic activities of the country.
