Dr. K. V. Rao Scientific Society

Dr. K. V. Rao Scientific Society was formed in 2001 with a view to promoting and popularizing science among students. 
KVRSS was formed in the memory of Late Dr. K. V. Rao who had retired as Superintending Chemist of Geological Survey of India. It founded by forming a corpus from the donations from friends and family of Dr. K. V. Rao. The passion of Dr. K. V. Rao by taking part actively in promotion of young scientists has been instrumental in bringing about this Society to promote scientific temper by making learning of science experiential and thereby encourage school students and young scientists to pursue a career in science.

KVRSS signed an MOU with CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Technology for arranging visits of students to their labs and talks by scientists of IICT at various schools. The logo of KVRSS depicts a Light House with the words “Tamasoma Jyothirgamaya” indicating that the Society is dedicated to spreading light of Science in all directions
