PM Modi addresses 108th Indian Science Congress
On Tuesday Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the 108th Indian Science Congress (ISC) on the theme “Science and Technology for Sustainable Development with Women Empowerment” via video conferencing.
PM Modi said that India’s scientific community should work to make India ‘Aatmanirbhar’. Development in science should be aimed at fulfilling India’s needs, and this should be the inspiration for our scientific community.
Citing the country’s growing energy needs, PM Modi urged the scientific community to forge such innovations in the field as may benefit the country.
Since India is home to 17-18 percent of the world’s population, the progress of such a large number of people will lead to a surge in global advancement as well, he said.
PM Modi further added, “Scientific attempts can turn into big achievements when it steps out of the lab to reach “Zameen” (ground), when its impact ranges from global to grassroots, and when the changes are visible in research as well as real life.”
India today is using scientific means for progress and its consequences are visible, he said, noting that India jumped to 40th rank in the global innovation index from 81 in 2015 in a list of 130 countries.
