Publication And Outreach Council

The Publications and Outreach Council at IISER Berhampur, as the name suggests, oversees all publications and outreach activities that the students engage in. With a mission to make science accessible to all and foster a sense of community where every individual is socially responsible and accountable. We believe that our local communities should grow as we do, and hence play an active role in reaching out to the world around us to help in whatever capacity we can.

It takes a village to raise a child, and it is our duty to give back to society. The POC is an enthusiastic and committed group of individuals who are willing to work together relentlessly to contribute to society through their limited expertise, in science or otherwise. We aim to spark curiosity, improve education and improve the lives of people around us, and in the process, do a lot of learning ourselves.

The POC conducts various events throughout the year related to education and societal development, alongside overseeing the activities of clubs and other committees that fall under the publications and outreach domain. The entire student body at IISER Berhampur plays an active role in shaping the council’s activities, and we act as the interface to channel student efforts to create public impact.
