“We are a Government that believes and supports scientific research, including an appropriate balance between fundamental research to support new discoveries and the commercialisation of ideas, which will lead to provide ample employment opportunities for India’s sustainable economic growth.” says Dr Harsh Vardhan.
The highlights of the fest include plenary lectures, technology demonstrations by young scientists, scientific workshop and pavilions and an exceptional opportunity for networking.
