Theme of ISC – Future India: Science and Technology
“Government’s aim is to deliver the benefits of Science & Technology to the last man in the society and scientists being a pivot should put their heart and soul into finding new solutions to the problems facing the nation and improve the quality of life of common man”.
It is the only second time for a University of Punjab to organize their herculean science spectacle.
