Welcome to Shaastra, a science and technology magazine from IIT Madras, which will keep you informed of cutting-edge developments across these two domains. Shaastra will bring an Indian perspective to global science and technology and an international perspective to Indian science. In-depth reportage on a broad range of subjects will be complemented by enriching views from experts. All of this will be presented in a language that will appeal to industry and academia – and to general readers with a keen interest in science and technology.

The inaugural May-June issue of Shaastra, released as an e-edition, is now available for you to browse. We are offering it free to our readers, and we invite you to read the flipbook – and download the entire issue in PDF format.

Our full-service website will be ready soon, which will let you share individual articles of particular interest on social media platforms and elsewhere.

Shaastra will soon be available in print, too – as a bimonthly – priced at Rs 199 per issue. We invite you to express your interest in subscribing here.
