The stage is set for the 94th edition of the Indian Science Congress beginning on Wednesday. The congregation of leading scientists from across the country and abroad will deliberate on how to safeguard the Earth from natural and manmade disasters.
The venue,Annamalai University ay Chidambaram,is appropriate. In the past few, years, it had witnessed a series of natural disasters such as drought and tsunami followed by unprecedented floods. The theme is 'Planet Earth'. The scientists will delve deep into the causes of the disasters and find remedies to make the Earth a better place. The world is facing major problems of population growth on the hand and the depleting resources on the other. And humanity has to cope up with disasters.
