Scientists
from different corners of India participated in the three-day
Indian Science conference in the State capital. A consensus
was reached to constitute Science Secretariate for better
implementation of scientific activities and to give shape
to the non-conventional concept of development. The conference
arrived at a number of important decisions which need to be
looked into and their benefits derived by honest implementation.
It is matter of satisfaction that the current knowledge-science
and art talents are being looked in consonance with modern
science and technology. This would spur pace of development.
However, in practice this is possible only when today's modern
science is made available in regional languages. By introducing
science and technology in traditional Indian systems of medicine,
would further enhance its acceptability among the masses.
In the current form it is not that popular. Adivasi communities
have immense store of knowledge with them but its benefit
could only be availed when it is kept on a modern platform.
During the Science conference it came to the fore that if
the available resources in the State were utilised in a scientific
manner then better results would ensue. Science has lot of
importance in agriculture, forest conservation, water conservation,
bio-fuel and fighting malnutrition. Chief Minister Shivraj
Singh Chouhan also announced a number of measures for promoting
scientific education. Talent search exams, to be participated
by one lakh students, would be organised. Thereafter scholarships
would be given to 100 selected students.
