KOLLAM: Agriculture Minister Mullakkara Ratnakaran said here on Monday that interest in science from childhood often paved the way for major scientific inventions. He was speaking after inaugurating the 18th two-day State-level National Children's Science Congress-2010 at the Jawahar Bal Bhavan.
The Minister said this year's focal theme of the science congress ‘Land resources: use for prosperity, save for posterity' had much contemporary significance. Even if development in other sectors was delayed, farm development should not be delayed, he said. Kerala could take up cultivation of a variety of crops due to different types of soil, he said. He said Endosulfan was a ‘modern age killer' which should be banned. District Collector Devendrakumar Dhudawat presided. K. Thankappan, executive director of Bal Bhavan, welcomed the gathering.
