The crucial role of scientists was recalled by Union Minister for Culture and Tourism G. Kishan Reddy as the ‘Science Leaders Conclave 2022’ held at CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Technology here, came to a close on Sunday. The Minister said scientists are taking the country to greater heights by being at the forefront of finding solutions to global problems.
“We have seen them come together to develop the COVID-19 vaccine. India now looks ahead at atmanirbharta in all fields. We want to emerge as a powerful, self-sufficient country. The government is committed to supporting scientific research under fundamental science, technology development, and supporting startups”,” said Mr Kishan Reddy.
He has urged research organisations across ministries and the industry to work together to develop world-class products and focus on channelising the youth power in the next 25 years.
