The CSIR-National Institute of Science Communication and Policy Research (CSIR-NIScPR) is utilizing SARAL AI—an initiative of the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF)—to convert published scientific research into engaging and accessible videos. Encouraged by the Ministry of Science & Technology, the initiative aims to leverage emerging digital technologies to simplify complex scientific research, expand its reach beyond the traditional research community, and make it more discoverable for students and the general public through a dedicated YouTube playlist. The Institute recently organized a hands-on workshop for editors and researchers to facilitate this adoption.
