** 1/3. If you wish to support the cause of spreading citizen-science, or public participation in research from home, through internet, please like this page and stay connected with news updates and basic astronomy knowledge being spread from RAD@home Astronomy Collaboratory, India. RAD is the
first and only Indian citizen-science research project in astronomy, launched on 15th April 2013. Activities of RAD@home has been supported by various govt/pvt education and research institutions namely Harishchandra Research Institute (Allahabad), Institute of Physics (Bhubaneswar), UM-DAE Centre for Excellence in Basic Sciences (CEBS, Mumbai), Nehru Planetarium (Delhi), Vigyan Prasar (DST), National Centre for Radio Astrophysics (Pune), Astronomical Society of India, Nature-Index, Square Kilometre Array, International Astronomical Union, URSI-India (International Union of Radio Sciences), International Centre for Theoretical Physics (Italy).

If you are 18+ Indian citizen with a BSc/BE degree or even student, irrespective of you are employed or not, you can learn from home and can contribute to real research being done using the GMRT telescope, largest such in the world, pride of India. Join this FB group of 4700+ Indians here https://www.facebook.com/groups/RADathome/
Follow the first/pinned post/announcement in the group and post galaxy images u would make using RAD@home RGB-maker web tool. Then u will be promoted to i-astronomer group and will get chance to get trained further and discover cosmic objects of importance (black hole galaxy systems with relativistic plasma jets and clusters of galaxies) sitting at home, anywhere in India.

3/3 Over 150 citizen-scientists have been trained in one-week RAD@home Discovery Camps hosted by various institutions. These e-astronomers continue to discover from home and be co-investigator in four successful Research Proposals running in GMRT (named GOOD-RAC). They are/will be author in international research papers depending on their contributions. Read the paper here
