While political events are on the boil countrywide, with religion and culture being at the centre of the narrative, the West Bengal government is urging educational institutions to spread the word about the State Science and Technology Congress to be held in February 2024.
As a forerunner to the event, to be held in Kolkata, the State Government said it will be conducting six Regional Science and Technology Congresses between December 2023 and January 2024 “as integral components of the programme.” While the congress has been held for 30 years now, this appears to be the first time that the State Government is aggressively seeking to promote it among colleges, making many teachers and students aware that such an event exists.
“We extend a warm invitation to researchers and scholars from diverse fields of Science and Technology to contribute to these events by submitting abstracts of their scientific research papers. The selected papers from these Regional Congresses will have the honour of being presented at the esteemed State Science and Technology Congress,” an email circulated among educational institutions by the State’s Science and Technology and Biotechnology department said.
