Hi everyone,
The communications team of EPE
<https://www.ncf-india.org/education-and-public-engagement>, NCF-India
<https://www.ncf-india.org/education-and-public-engagement> is thrilled to
announce that we are partnering with NDTV Gadget for a series of columns
around Nature Conservation and Technology. This series is an
informal tie-up between us and NDTV Gadgets. NDTV wants to explore the
world of conservation and how technology and gadgets are helping
ecologists, biologists, birders and those who work in nature conservation
or environment *in** India*.
*Send us your tech story!*
If you are interested in writing a column for this series, *please pitch us
with a few lines about what you would like to write about.* What we want
are stories about various technology, gadgets, apps you use in your
personal everyday work - how you use them, the challenges you face with
technology, anecdotes, laugh-out-loud tales of gadgets and research and
maybe birds, or your relationship with your smart-gadget.
*Word count*: 800-1000
*Photos*: We will need photographs of you in your field/office/home, with
your gadgets + of your field work.
(Please note that *NDTV Gadgets will not be able to pay the writer* for
these columns. *However, they would like to tag you on social media, and
include links of your work in your column - which will really boost your
SEO levels)*
-----
*About NDTV Gadgets and a note from the editor*
NDTV is the digital arm of India’s most trustworthy news channel, and by
ourselves, one of the biggest digital news platforms in India and around
the world. Gadgets 360 (gadgets.ndtv.com) was the first offshoot of NDTV.com,
and taken independently is the biggest news site covering technology in
India, and one of the global leaders as well, in the same ballpark as
industry leaders such as The Verge, and Wired.
With close to 40 million monthly visitors — and growing fast in the last
few months — Gadgets 360 is obviously a leading destination for people
interested in science, personal technology, and tech policy news. We’re
trying to diversify our content and in that sense, this will be a great
fit, and it’ll also be a great platform for the writers to share their
work.
All columns shared with us will not just be published on the website but
also shared on our social media handles on Facebook and Twitter, with your
handles tagged (if you wish) bringing in further reach for your work. We
can not offer analytics about the individual articles owing to policy
reasons but we can include links to your website in the author bio as well
as any in-article links that suit the column editorially.

If you are a *Indian researcher *interested in writing *a column about your
work and the gadgets/technology you use, or know someone who should write
this column in your community, please write to me at jignasa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thank you.
