PROFILE OF THE INDIAN SCIENCE CONGRESS
ASSOCIATION
The Indian Science Congress Association (ISCA) is a premier scientific organization of the country
established in 1914. ISCA has been promoting science and inculcating the spirit of science through its
multifarious activities. ISCA meets in the first week of January in an Annual Congress of scientists, science
administrators, policy makers and the general public to give a stronger impulse and a more systematic
direction to the scientific inquiry, to promote the interaction of societies and individuals interested in science
in different parts of the country and to obtain a more general attention to the objects of pure and applied
sciences. ISCA brings together scientists both from India and abroad for mutual interaction in the cause
of national development. Annual Congress of the Association has been held every year ever since 1914
with a very distinguished scientist as its General President.
The Association was formed with the following objectives :
1. To advance and promote the cause of Science in India;
2. To hold an annual Congress at a suitable place in India;
3. To publish such proceedings, journals, transactions and other publications as
may be considered desirable;
4. To secure and manage funds and endowments for the promotion of Science
including the rights of disposing of, or selling all or any portion of the properties
of the Association;
5. To do and perform any or all other acts, matters and things as are conducive to,
or incidental to, or necessary for, the above objects.
Since its foundation, the Association has steadfastly worked to uphold its lofty objectives. The
scope of its activities has expectedly increased many fold since 1914. The first Session of the Congress
was held during January 15-17, 1914 at the premises of The Asiatic Society, Kolkata, with the Honourable
Justice Sir Asutosh Mookerjee, the then Vice-Chancellor of the Calcutta University, a General President.
One hundred and five Scientists from different parts of India and abroad attended and papers numbering
35 were divided into six sections; Botany, Chemistry, Ethnography, Geology, Physics and Zoology under
six Sectional Presidents. From these relatively modest beginnings ISCA has grown into a strong fraternity
with nearly eighteen thousand members who participate in fourteen different sections of the Congress.
The number of papers communicated for presentation has risen to about one thousand. After independence
ISCA has been actively interacting with various foreign Scientific Academies/Associations, namely, British
Association for the Advancement of Science, American Association for the Advancement of Science,
French Academy of Sciences, Bangladesh Academy of Sciences, Sri Lanka Association for the
Advancement of Science, Beijing Association for Science & Technology and others with a view to have a
fruitful interactions on topics of mutual interest.
The year 1976 witnessed a significant departure in the trend of deliberations during the Congress. It
was being felt for sometime that such a gathering of scientists, covering a wide spectrum and seized of
national issues that have scientific and technological implications to adopt a cogent theme every year. In
2
1976, Dr. M.S.Swaminathan, the then General President of ISCA, introduced the concept of Focal Theme
of national relevance which is now discussed at an Annual Session of the Indian Science Congress. Further,
several plenary sessions are organised around various facets of the Focal Theme in which scientists and
technologists as well as policy makers and administrators interact with one another. ISCA has thus become
an important platform where members from different disciplines and from different walks of life contribute
to discussions on the Focal Theme.
Another significant breakthrough was made in 1980, when the Department of Science and Technology,
Government of India, set up a permanent Task Force involving representatives of ISCA and chiefs of
different agencies and voluntary organizations. Chaired by the Secretary, DST, as being responsible for
follow-up action on various recommendations on the Focal Theme. Every year followup actions on
recommendations made in the previous Science Congress are discussed at a General Session organized
by DST during the Science Congress. Through this process, the Indian Science Congress Association has
been contributing to the development of Science in general and National
Science Policy, in particular.
ISCA introduced a programme for the benefit of young scientists from its 68
th
Session in 1981. The
Programme enables young scientists to present their proposed research work with opportunities to exchange
ideas in the relevant scientific problems with their counterparts and specialists. For the best presentations,
such young scientists are given the ISCA Young Scientist Award. The Young Scientist Award has been
enhanced from 5,000/- to 25,000/- from 2006 to encourage talented young scientists.
A substantial number of the contributed papers, which are accepted on the basis of a careful screening
to be done by the concerned Sectional Presidents with the help of some experts, are presented by way of
posters. Further, to encourage scientists it was decided that at most two Prizes of 1,000/- in cash along
with a certificate be awarded to the Best Poster presentation in each section from 1999 Session. The value
of these prizes were enhanced to 5,000/- from 2007. Oral presentations of selected contributed papers
are also included in the programme of each section.
The Indian Science Congress Association has instituted several Awards to honour and encourage
scientists in India mainly through special endowments received from individuals and groups and also
from its own funds. The concept of instituting Awards started from 1965 onwards and presently there are
about 33 Awards that are given by ISCA.

THE HUNDREDTH SESSION OF INDIAN SCIENCE CONGRESS
INCEPTION CEREMONY FOR CENTENARY YEAR
The Inception Ceremony for the celebration of Centenary Year was held on June 2
nd
, 2012 at
University of Calcutta, Kolkata. Dr. Manmohan Singh, Honble Prime Minister of India and General
President, formally declared open the Centenary Year of the Indian Science Congress Association. His
Excellency Governor of West Bengal, Shri M. K. Narayanan, Chief Minister of West Bengal, Ms Mamata
Banerjee, Minister of Science and Technology and Earth Sciences, Shri Vilasrao Deshmukh, Minister of
State for Science and Technology and Earth Sciences, Shri Ashwani Kumar, Dr T. Ramasami, Secretary
DST, Prof. Suranjan Das, Vice Chancellor, Calcutta University, were present on the occasion.
HONBLE PRIME MINISTERS ADDRESS AS THE GENERAL PRESIDENT
I am delighted to join you at this ceremony to formally declare open the Centenary Year of the
Indian Science Congress Association.
When Council members of the Indian Science Congress Association elected me last year as the
General President for the Centenary Year of this institution, I was deeply touched by their kind gesture.
But I was also aware that, as a layman, my ability to lead the Association in the complex realm of
science would be limited. Eventually, what made me decide to foray into the affairs of this privileged
association was a judgement, made with humility and sincerity, that by accepting the onerous responsibility
I would signal the full support and commitment of the government to Indian science as it passes through a
critical decade of innovation.
I wish to recall what Shri Ashutosh Mukherjee, the legendary Vice Chancellor of Calcutta University,
once said :
......even the most enlightened Governments occasionally require to be reminded of the full extent
of the paramount claims of Science upon the Public Funds.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is entirely befitting that we are in the hallowed portals of the University of Calcutta to celebrate
the Centenary. It was here that the Indian Science Congress Association took roots under the
leadership of Shri Ashutosh Mukherjee. In many senses, modern science in India was nurtured in this
city. I congratulate the city of Kolkata for nourishing an environment of learning and producing some
of the countrys outstanding scientists, mathematicians and economists, including many of our Nobel
laureates.
Earlier today I was privileged to lay the foundation stone of the unified campus of the Bose Institute,
named after one of the greatest Indian scientists of the last century, Jagadish Chandra Bose.
These founders of modern Indian science did not let the burdens of colonial subjugation come in the
way of their pursuit of scientific excellence. They complemented their brilliant scientific abilities with
imagination, drive and patriotic fervour to write a glorious chapter in the annals of Indian science.
I propose that the technical programmes of the Indian Science Congress in Kolkata in January 2013
begin with a special lecture in honour of Shri Ashutosh Mukherjee, who personified the national science
movement that took shape a hundred years ago.
4
The theme for this years Congress is Science for Shaping the Future of India. It is a theme that
might have resonated just as well a hundred years ago when the Association came into being.
Each generation, while grappling with the pressing problems of the present, has thought about the
shape and character of the India they would bequeath to succeeding generations.
We can all agree that we aspire to a future for India in which each citizen is able to meet his or her
basic needs of food, clean water and shelter and is educated and skilled not only to earn a living but to
benefit and enrich himself or herself from global cross currents of cultural, scientific and social advances.
The journey of our development is marked by glittering scientific achievements whether in the field
of atomic energy, space, agriculture or information technology. The burden on science in the future will only
increase. Our problems are overwhelming and need scientific solutions. We have to use our abundant
intellectual resources to find new pathways of development that use our scarce natural resources judiciously.
But science has a greater role to play. In recent times, I have been observing a growing intolerance
among our people of dissent and opinions that contradict the prevailing orthodoxy. We seem to be losing
the ability to engage in a rational discourse where different points of view are expressed. Public debate is
often hostage to sensationalism. I sometimes fear that a growing culture of narrow mindedness might affect
the creative, innovative and imaginative instincts of our youth.
Indian civilization has a rich tradition of preserving social harmony and promoting conciliation by
accommodating different viewpoints, identities and cultural differences. We should strengthen these impulses
through the propagation of a scientific temper and an enlightened understanding of the meaning of freedom
of expression.
I would urge the doyens of the scientific community to speak out and make more effective contributions
to an informed and reasoned debate on the issues before the nation. The voice of our scientists is important
and should be heard.
Ladies and Gentlemen :
I am happy that we have chosen this Centenary Year to declare the Year of Science in India. We
should all work to make a success of it.
I submit to this august audience that our government has invested as never before in Indian science.
For many years the capacities in our higher scientific and technical infrastructure were stagnant. We built
world class institutions that created islands of excellence that created new knowledge. But we did not use
science and technology in our development processes as much as we should have. We did not build local
capacities that could meaningfully address problems of development in a decentralised manner.
I believe that the huge expansion in educational infrastructure that this government has overseen will
create the building blocks of a modern knowledge economy and, more importantly, society. Of course we
have to overcome many challenges such as producing qualified teachers in adequate numbers, devising a
modern curriculum and teaching methods and building proper physical infrastructure. But it is certainly true
that we have taken a quantum leap in our ambitions for Indian science.
5
I hope that all our educational institutions and scientific establishments will mark the occasion with
suitable events to raise the profile of science in India.
One of the major outcomes of the centenary year celebration would be the formulation of a new
Science and Technology Policy that will update the existing policy document of 2003 in the light of a
rapidly changing scientific environment in the country and the world. We have to keep pace with what is
happening elsewhere in the scientific world and the evolving aspirations of the Indian people.
Turning to the calendar of events planned during the Centenary Year, I find that we have a busy year
ahead. In addition to the annual session at Kolkata, there will be three regional science congresses in the
North, West and South of the country.
We will organize special sessions on the use of high technology, renewable energy and public health
challenges like malnutrition. We will emphasise themes that relate science to integrated rural development
in the country.
We will bring out a well-researched publication on 100 high impact-making discoveries in Indian
Science during the last 100 years. We will also launch a Hall of Fame in cyberspace to portray globally the
contribution of Indian science.
We are, rightly to my mind, also focusing our programmes on what we can do to attract our youth to
science. There has been some discussion on the setting up of a Science Academy for the Young during the
centenary year. We should follow up on this proposal.
At the Congress in Kolkata next year, we will invite outstanding Indian scientists under the age of 45
to deliver lectures to the youth. We will hold a special session in Kolkata for young scientists. To motivate
young learners, the Association will bring out inspirational video documentaries highlighting the history of
modern science. Starting from this year, a special scheme for 100 doctoral research fellowships every year
will be launched under a Public Private Partnership between Ministry of Science & Technology and the
Confederation of Indian Industries.
Keeping in mind our obligation to promote science internationally and in our own region, we propose
to introduce a scheme to invite 25 young scientists from our neighbouring countries to undertake doctoral
research in India. The Department of Science and Technology will work out appropriate arrangements in
this regard.
I am happy that efforts are being made to rejuvenate the Indian Science Congress Association
through additional building infrastructure and a resource mobilization drive to create a corpus of Rs. 150
crore on the occasion of its Centenary Year.
I hope that the occasions provided by the Centenary year events will be used by our scientific
community to reflect on how we can frame a science and technology policy that reflects our aspiration for
making science a spearhead of development in our country. I hope that by the time we meet for the Indian
Science Congress seven months from now, we would be able to give concrete shape to ideas that can
define our countrys future path.
I conclude with a quote from Pandit Nehru, who said at the meeting of the Indian Science Congress
in 1938 :
...Even more than the present, the future belongs to those who make friends with science.
Thank you.

INAUGURAL SPEECH BY HIS EXCELLENCY
SHRI PRANAB MUKHERJEE THE PRESIDENT OF INDIA
AT THE 100
TH
INDIAN SCIENCE CONGRESS
Dr. Manmohan Singh, Honourable Prime Minister of India and the General President of Indian
Science Congress Association, Shri Narayanan, Excellency the Governor of West Bengal, Miss Mamata
Banerjee, Honble Chief Minister of West Bengal, Shri Jaipal Reddy, Honble Minister of Science and
Technology and Earth Sciences, Government of India, Past General President and President elect and
General Secretaries, Members of the Council and Executive Committee of Indian Science Congress
Association, Science Icons of the World including Nobel and Abel Prize Awardees, distinguished friends
and representatives of the press and media.
At the outset, I wish the participants to the Centenary session of Indian Science Congress and the
people of the Nation, a purposeful and productive New Year. My warmest congratulations to the Indian
Science Congress on the occasion of the celebration of their centenary. The Prime Minister of India
generally inaugurates the annual sessions of Indian Science Congress. In the current year, the Association
has elected the Prime Minister as its General President. I congratulate Dr. Manmohan Singh for being
elected as the General President of Indian Science Congress in this historic year. It is a befitting honour. I
can from personal experience vouchsafe the abiding faith of Dr. Manmohan Singh on education, science
and technology. The good performance of science and technology sector in the recent years, I believe,
owes greatly to the generous government support for S&T catalysed by the Prime Minister.
I am an alumnus of Calcutta University. Naturally, I am delighted to participate in a function co-
organized by Calcutta University. As an alumnus, I fondly remember defining role of this university and Sir
Asutosh Mukherjee in nurturing the Indian Science Congress in the early years. Kolkata has remained
historically a city of culture, of knowledge. All Nobel Prizes awarded for work from India are somehow
linked to the city of Kolkata. Sir Ronald Ross carried out his pioneering research on Malaria in this city for
which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1902. Sir CV Ramans remarkable discovery, the Raman
Effect, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930, was made here in Kolkata. The
legendry Rabindranath Tagore and Mother Teresa were also awarded Noble Prizes for their work carried
out in Kolkata. The earliest organizations associated with scienceThe Asiatic Society, The Indian
Association for the Cultivation of Science and the Indian Science Congress Association were established
here. These organizations gave rise to celebrated luminaries in science who promoted a scientific culture.
Sir JC Bose, Prof. Satyendra Nath Bose, PC Ray, Meghnad Saha and many others who built the edifice
of modern science in the country. Sir JC Bose is hailed as the first of modern scientists of this country. His
original contributions to the invention of radio are well known. The recent discovery of Higgs-boson
particle highlights the epoch making contributions of Prof. Satyendra Nath Bose to particle physics. I do
hope that the modern scientists of this city would emulate the examples of these leaders of science of the
past.
ISCA presented me a compilation of all the addresses of General Presidents of the Association as
well as the inaugural addresses delivered over the years. These make fascinating reading. In a sense, these
capture the history of Indian science as it evolved over the past 100 years. In the year 1957, I was a
student at Calcutta University. In that year, the Prime Minister of India Pandit Nehru was the Chief Guest.
9
The Chief Minister of Bengal, the visionary Prof BC Roy was the President of the Science Congress. The
topic of BC Roys address to the Congress was On Science for Human Welfare and Development of
Country. The topic then was akin to the theme of the present session - Science for Shaping Future of
India . I was greatly touched by BC Roys concluding message and I quote: The clouds of time may have
hidden for us innumerable problems, trials and dangers, yet time may also reveal solutions of unknown
difficulties or delightful surprises which man with his knowledge of Science should be prepared to turn to
his advantage with faith, hope and good will.
Let me congratulate the Indian Science Congress for selecting Science for Shaping Future of India
as the focal theme for its 100th Session. Science has to be closely linked to a culture within the society
which is built on scientific knowledge. It calls for a scientific temper that Pt. Nehru always used to talk
about. Scientific culture demands that choices and decisions are made by individuals, society and the
nation on the basis of scientific logic. Indian economy has been following a new paradigm of development;
faster, sustainable and inclusive growth with equity. It is a new concept because it combines the faster
growth with objectives of inclusiveness and sustainability. How to harness the forces of science, technology
and innovation to achieve this end calls for deep deliberation. I am sure, you will discuss this in all its
aspects and implications with the seriousness that it demands.
Science is one of the creative endeavours of human mind. Pursuit of Science as a personal passion
can not be regulated or directed when the thrill of pursuit is in Knowing the truth of Nature. Prepared and
creative minds are required to observe the revelations of Nature. Science seeks universal and fundamental
truth. Culture of Excellence is the second nature of creative scientists. Eminent scientists of the world have
always been concerned as to how their understanding of natural phenomena could be applied to solve
social problems of the future. Sir JC Bose, more than a century ago, on 5th March 1885, wrote in his diary
I have been thinking whether the solar energy that is wasted in tropical regions in a new way could be
utilized. Of course trees conserve the solar energy. But is there no other way of directly utilizing the radiant
energy of the sun? The seed for artificial photosynthesis was sown then. Even now it is an active area of
research pursuit globally. His disciple Prof. Satyendra Nath Bose was a powerful communicator and an
inspired teacher. He delivered lectures on power and nuclear energy in a language that lay people could
understand. He motivated generation of people to move towards scientific endeavour. Public and political
understanding of science is crucial. For that, I would like to urge upon you all to apply modern tools for
communicating science in a manner that can be understood by the common man. This understanding
would contribute to the creation of a science culture in the Indian society.
The prime concern of any government in a country is enhancing the well being of its people. Technology
has the power of changing the lives of the people by creating physical well being. Countries have undergone
transformational changes, all in one generation, from a relatively weak to an emerging economy. In this
transformational change, technology-led economic growth has played a key role. While technology can be
considered a logical extension of knowledge gained from science, it is much more than mere application of
science. Technology is contextual. There is a economic value to technology. We all are a witness to the
transformational changes being brought about by mobile telephony and internet. The number of mobile
phone users in India was around 19 crore in October 2012 which is the second highest in the world after
China. The mobile phone density of 74.21 per cent of India compares favourably with the other top
ranking countries. Another marvel of technologythe internethas become a vital source of information
and communication. India ranks third after China and USA in terms of number of internet users. However,
10
the penetration of internet use as the percentage of the population is only 11.4 indicating the huge potential
for future growth.
Another transformational application of technology is Aadhaar project which focuses on electronic
transfer of benefits directly to the beneficiaries of various social sector schemes. I understand the roll out of
Aadhaar enabled service delivery has already started in twenty districts. In the Budget 2012-13, a target
for covering fifty districts has been set which, I am sure, will be met.
It is essential to innovate if we have to compete in a globalised economy. India has declared 2010-
20 as the decade of innovation. The announcement of Science, Technology and Innovation Policy today
lays the roadmap for the development of an eco system for innovations and for encouraging, recognizing
and rewarding the innovators in the society, especially the grass root innovators who through their genius
are adding value to the processes which directly impact the local population.
The new STI policy has also addressed the issue of right-sizing our research and development
system. Balanced economic growth especially in emerging economies like India is of paramount importance.
Productive engagement of our youth in agriculture, manufacturing and value based services holds the key
for a balanced growth of the country. The new STI Policy, I am confident, will pave the technology-led
path for change ensuring prosperity with peace and inclusiveness.
We need an educational system which lays importance on development of a scientific culture within
the society. Mere economic growth without the attendant knowledge capacity to manage the dimensions
of change would neither suffice nor be appropriate.
Our ancient universities, whether these be Nalanda or Taxila, focused on value based holistic education.
Perhaps it is appropriate to quote from an address of Rabindranath Tagore delivered ninety years ago :
You know the traditions of our country are never to accept any material fees from the students in return
for teaching, because we consider in India that one who has knowledge has the responsibility to impart it
to the students. Swami Vivekananda always spoke of fusion of cultural values of the orient with practical
methods of the occident. Innovation is a modern means of converting knowledge into social value and
wealth. Indian philosophy, seeks to balance the pursuit of wealth and material success with the mastery of
the self and the quest of inner happiness. The deeply introspective, yet practical, wisdom of Indian philosophy
must find resonance in the metaphor of competition and conquest popularized in the modern world.
I conclude with a quote from Swami Vivekananda, he said: No nation can be said to have become
civilized, only because it has succeeded in increasing the comforts of material life by bringing into use lots
of machinery and things of that sort.... In this age as on the one hand people have to be intensely practical,
so on the other, they have to acquire deep spiritual knowledge.
I would like to call upon the scientific community to work for the promotion of a scientific culture for
shaping our future in which prosperity and peace, excellence and equity and oriental values and occidental
methods of science converge and co-exist. India is expected to emerge as a major economic power by
2035. We should also emerge as a major knowledge power with high human and societal values. Let me
mention in this regard that it has been 83 long years since CV Raman won the Nobel Prize for Physics.
Another Nobel Prize in the sciences is long overdue for India. I call upon scientific fraternity gathered here
to rise upto this challenge and work towards this goal in a time bound manner.
With these words, I formally inaugurate the 100th session of Indian Science Congress.
Thank you.
Jai Hind!

PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS BY DR. MANMOHAN SINGH
HONBLE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA AT THE
100
TH
As General President of the Indian Science Congress Association, it is my great honour to welcome
our Chief Guest, the Honble President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee. Our President is a distinguished
statesman. His wisdom, knowledge and vast experience of public life are great national assets. I also
welcome the galaxy of luminaries, practitioners, policymakers and worshippers of science who have come
together today to celebrate the centenary of the Indian Science Congress.
By selecting Kolkata as the venue of this historic occasion, the Congress is celebrating its 100th
Anniversary at the original home of the Association. Modern Indian science was largely nurtured here in
the soil of Bengal. Kolkatas credentials in science are burnished not only by the impressive list of institutions
it hosts today, but by the inquisitiveness, creativity and liberalism that have defined its residents for many
generations. I thank the Government of West Bengal, particularly the Governor, Shri Narayanan, the Chief
Minister, Kumari Mamata Banerjee, and the people of Kolkata for their unstinting support to the Science
Congress.
I would also like to take this opportunity to felicitate the Executive Committee and Members of the
Council of the Indian Science Congress Association for their work during the year and for achieving many
of the initiatives I had outlined in my inception address in this very city seven months ago.
On the centenary of the Association, let us pause for a minute to recall the foresight and determination
of its founding fathers Sir Ashutosh Mukherjee, Professor J. L. Simonsen and Professor P.S. MacMahon.
We also salute the genius and dedication of other stalwarts like Acharya Prafulla Chandra Ray, Sir RN
Mookerjee, Sir Jagdish Chandra Bose, Sir M Visvesvaraya, Sir CV Raman, Sir SN Bose and Professor
Meghnad Saha, who made this great institution a vehicle for the spread of knowledge and progress for the
Indian nation. Let their commitment and social consciousness be the guiding spirit of todays scientists.
The theme of this Congress, Science for Shaping the Future of India, reflects the dream of every
generation of Indian scientists. Faster growth over the next few decades, more sustainable development
based on food and energy security, and socio-economic inclusion made possible by rapid growth of basic
social services, such as education and health, are all crucial for defining Indias future. Science, technology
and innovation all have an important role to play in achieving these objectives.
Science and technology development have been central to the phenomenal material advancement
and efficiency in the use of resources seen in the last hundred years. The pace of change has only accelerated
in the last few decades, as globalization and new technology have enhanced peoples access to knowledge
and their ability to leverage it through collaboration. India has benefited from this epochal transformation
by embracing these trends.
Since technological changes typically emanate from established structures, they may at times re-
inforce them and inhibit the advancement of equity and equality. As India seeks a sustained growth of its
national income, we must endeavour to harness the tools of science to cater to the needs of the underprivileged
and to bridge the gap between the haves and the have-nots.
12
Nearly 65 percent of our people live in rural areas. The increase in their living standards depends
greatly on the growth of agricultural production and productivity. The Twelfth Five Year Plan assumes that
a sustained growth of our agriculture at the rate of 4 percent per annum is essential for the achievement of
food security for our country. This growth is constrained by shortages of water and also of land. We need
new breakthroughs in water-saving technologies of cultivation, enhancement of land productivity and
development of climate-resilient varieties. This transformation of agriculture must be the top priority concern
of our public policies, including science and technology policies.
In keeping with the theme of this Congress, the question naturally arises as to what we should do to
build our future through science? I would like to share a few ideas.
First, we must, as a society, enhance the spread of what Jawaharlal Nehru used to describe as the
scientific temper. Our younger generations must adopt a science-based value-system in order to benefit
from what science can offer and to make up for lost time. Complex issues, be they genetically modified
food or nuclear energy or exploration of outer space, cannot be settled by faith, emotion and fear but by
structured debate, analysis and enlightenment. A scientific approach and understanding of these issues are
therefore as vital as our core scientific capabilities.
For this, we must invest in popularizing science, not only in our schools and colleges as we are
doing through the INSPIRE programme but also in our homes, workplaces and communities through all
available communication methods, like the high-speed optical fibre National Knowledge Network.
Eventually, science must help in establishing an inclusive society that seeks to solve major social problems
through the application of science.
Second, our scholarship and research must be informed by a keen awareness of our basic social
and economic realities. Given the limited resources that we, as a nation, are able to devote to scientific
research, it is imperative that we give priority to meeting those challenges which are fundamental to the
transformation of our economy.
I have already referred to the need to transform Indias agriculture. But there are other equally valid
concerns as well which require priority attention. The quest for energy security, sanitation, provision of safe
drinking water, labour intensive manufactures and universal healthcare at affordable cost are other areas of
high priority concern. Our effort should be to carve out a niche for Indias leadership in some of these
areas. Indian industry must play an active part in this process through in-house research centres and, more
importantly, through enhanced academia-industry interaction.
Third, a holistic organizational approach is essential. There was a time when science took a lonely
road, driven by individual enterprise rather than collective effort. This is sub-optimal in the innovation and
knowledge-intensive world that is empowering the growth process today. We need cross-fertilization of
disciplines and synergy among stakeholders. Government-sponsored research must be supplemented by
research in private labs. Academic and research systems must foster innovation and entrepreneurship and
therefore link up with those interested in commercial development.
In the last few years, we have taken some policy measures in this direction. We have encouraged
sharing of and access to Government-owned data for research. We have also created new mechanisms
like Innovation Complexes, Technology Business Incubator and Innovation Universities in an effort to
bring about convergence of interests among the various players in science.
Fourth, international collaboration is vital for increasingly resource-intensive modern science to
progress. Economic liberalization and economic growth over the last several years have made it possible
13
for our scientists to collaborate meaningfully and confidently in the international arena. Let me cite only two
outstanding examples. There was significant Indian collaboration with the European Centre for Nuclear
Research on the Large Hadron Collider, which led to the discovery of what is believed to be the elusive
Higgs boson. The other example is our work with a select group of countries on the International
Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor.
We must partner not only with established leaders in science and technology, but also with emerging
innovation powerhouses, many of them in our region. We must also offer our expertise to our neighbours
for collective prosperity and progress.
Finally, the quality of our scientific institutions will depend upon the quality of the students we can
attract into science, the freedom we give them in pursuing scientific research and the human resource
policies we follow in selecting leaders. We must select only the best and we must expand our search to the
many Indian scientists abroad who may wish to return to India at least for some years.
The solution of even the simplest of problems related to humanitys pressing needs often requires
first-rate fundamental research. During the last eight years, we have tried to fill this gap by expanding the
infrastructure of our scientific research and innovation. We have established five new Indian Institutes of
Science Education and Research, eight new Indian Institutes of Technology, sixteen new Central Universities,
ten new National Institutes of Technology, six new R&D institutions in the field of biotechnology and five
institutions in other branches. It is my hope that all this will significantly raise the quality of scientific research
in our country.
Given that science-led innovation is the key to development, the National Innovation Council has
also brought the domain of innovation to the foreground, helping translation of knowledge into usable
solutions.
The Science, Technology and Innovation Policy 2013 released here today aspires to position India
among the top five global scientific powers by the year 2020. It is an ambitious goal. It aims to produce
and nurture talent in science, to stimulate research in our universities, to develop young leaders in the field
of science, to reward performance, to create a policy environment for greater private sector participation
in research and innovation and to forge international alliances and collaborations to meet the national
agenda. The Twelfth Five Year Plan, which was approved by the NDC a few days ago, outlines a number
of initiatives which will make this possible.
An important step in this direction in the Eleventh Plan was the establishment of the National Science
and Engineering Research Board as an autonomous funding body. As pointed out in the Twelfth Plan, this
institution proposes to invest in researches of proven track record and establish about 200 to 250 centres
based on a grant model with performance reward linkages.
I would like to conclude by recalling Gurudev Rabindranath Tagores immortal lines in which he
prayed for a future India where, among other things, a clear stream of reason would prevail. I am
confident that, in the next five days, this confluence of leading lights of science from home and abroad will
throw up useful ideas on how science will shape the future of India. As the Indian Science Congress
crosses another milestone, let us pledge to keep alive the passion of its architects for truth that is eternal
and beautiful and their dream to lead India to greater heights of knowledge.
Let me also take this occasion to wish all those gathered here a very Happy New Year.

HONBLE PRIME MINISTER UNVEILS NEW SCIENCE,
TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION POLICY
The Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, unveiled the Science, Technology and Innovation Policy
(STI) 2013 by presenting its first copy to the President of India Shri Pranab Mukerjee at the inaugural
session of the Centenary session of the Indian Science Congress.
The STI Policy seeks to send a signal to the Indian scientific community, both in the private and
public domain, that science, technology and innovation should focus on faster, sustainable and inclusive
development of the people. The policy seeks to focus on both STI for people and people for STI. It
aims to bring all the benefits of Science, Technology & Innovation to the national development and sustainable
and more inclusive growth. It seeks the right sizing of the gross expenditure on research and development
by encouraging and incentivizing private sector participation in R & D, technology and innovation activities.
The policy also seeks to trigger an ecosystem for innovative abilities to flourish by leveraging
partnerships among diverse stakeholders and by encouraging and facilitating enterprises to invest in
innovations. It also seeks to bring in mechanisms for achieving gender parity in STI activities and gaining
global competitiveness in select technological areas through international cooperation and alliances. The
policy goal is to accelerate the pace of discovery, diffusion and delivery of science led solutions for serving
theaspirational goals of India for faster, sustainable and inclusive growth. A Strong and viable Science,
Research and Innovation system for High Technology led path for India (SRISHTI) are the goal for the
STI policy.
The Key features of the STI policy 2013 are
Promoting the spread of scientific temper amongst all sections of society.
Enhancing skills for applications of science among the young from all social sectors.
Making careers in science, research and innovation attractive enough for talented and bright minds.

15
Aspirations of the Policy
The main aspirational elements of the STI policy are:
Raising Gross Expenditure in Research and Development (GERD) to 2% from the present 1% of
the GDP in this decade by encouraging enhanced private sector contribution.
Increasing the number of Full Time Equivalent (FTE) of R&D personnel in India by at least 66% of
the present strength in 5 years.
Increasing accessibility, availability and affordability of innovations, especially for women, differently-
abled and disadvantaged sections of society.
Mechanisms
Wide ranging mechanisms are envisaged to be deployed to realize the policy aspirations, a few of
these are:
Promoting the spread of scientific temper amongst all sections of society.

CHILDREN SCIENCE CONGRESS
The Children Science Congress was inaugurated by former President of India Dr. A.P.J.Abdul
Kalam in Kolkata at S.N.Bose National Center for Basic Sciences today. Speaking on the occasion Dr.
Kalam said the this Indian science congress standing is on the shoulders of great scientific minds SN Bose,
JC Bose, Meghnath Saha, Sir CV Raman, Srinivasa Ramanujan, Homi Bhabha and Vikram Sarabhai and
many great scientists. He said would like to share few thoughts on the topic Excellence in thinking and
actions.
Dr. Kalam asked the young buds present on the occasion to take science as a life mission with
excellence in thinking and action by striving to work with their utmost potential. I would like to focus on
importance of two great needs: Value to science and scientific magnanimity. He also spoke about energy
conservation and building scientific temperament.
Dr. Kalam said History has proven that those who dare to imagine the impossible are the ones who
break all human limitations. In every field of human endeavor, whether science, medicine, sports, the arts,
or technology, the names of the people who imagined the impossible and achieved are engraved in our
history. By breaking the limits of their imagination, they changed the world.
The former president also shared his interaction with students in State Children Science Congress
(2012) Uttar Pradesh State Science Congress at Barabanki, Southern Regional Science Congress at
Coimbatore, Tamilnadu, Mega Science Fair at Darbhanga (Bihar) and National Children Science Congress
at Varanasi.
He also referred to the recent development by two teams at the CERN Laboratory towards the
discovery of the God Particle, a popular name for an elementary particle called Higgs Boson, named
18
after a great scientist Peter Higgs and Already some progress is being made in this direction in 2011, and
it may be possible that within the next few year, we would be able to understand better about the Gods
Particle and unravel the mystery of why matter exists and how universe came into being. Dr. Kalam said,
I am sure, some of you, as scientists of tomorrow would be finding such sub-atomic, fundamental physics
as a research area for your scientific pursuits and would play a vital role in discovering more about this
unique area of particle physics.
Presiding over the session, Union Minister Science & Technology and Earth Sciences, Dr. S. Jaipal
Reddy said the future of India will be shaped by the emerging force, the youth of the Nation and in the
words of Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, as he quoted in the Discovery of India -.Old as we are, with
memories stretching back to the early dawns of human history and endeavour, we have to grow once
again, in tune with our present time, with the irrepressible spirit and joy of youth in the present and its faith
in the future.
Shri Reddy said Dr. Kalam, apart from making signal contributions in the field of technology and
public life, has made abstruse subjects like science and technology inspiring for children and youth in their
impressionable years. Nobody has proved to be a greater source of positive energy and soaring inspiration
than him in recent years.
The Minister impressed upon the need to invest in todays youth, both in terms of resources and
mentoring support, as our first Prime Minister Pt. Nehru did in setting up such temples of learning as
Atomic Energy Commission and IITs. Our Government realizes the inestimable value of such investments.
He urged senior scientists of today to extend all the mentoring support to budding researchers. He said
Let us together build an India which is a leader in science and technology in the world.
The Minster said we have a dynamic, developed and diversified industrial and service sectors,
established on the strength of our own techno-entrepreneurial talents. Our technological achievements are
substantial and in certain areas, these are world class. The country today has over 700 R&D, technical and
development centres of the top global companies, employing over 150,000 scientists and engineers. This
confidence of global majors in our youth has given fillip to some of Indias best and talented young technocrats
to become first generation technopreneurs. And, most importantly, all of this has been achieved in a
framework of a vibrant pluralistic democracy.
Shri Reddy referred to the scheme Innovation in Scientific Pursuit for Inspired Research INSPIRE
launched by the Department of Science and Technology and said that Under this scheme around nine lakh
awards for youth in the age group of 10-32 years has been provided. Besides this INSPIRE supports
science camps for top 1% performers at class level across all school boards. It also provides high value
scholarship for study of science courses at undergraduate levels, offers research fellowships for doctoral
research and creates assured opportunity for careers with research by providing faculty awards for 5-year
contractual assignments and research grants..
Referring to the newly announced Science, Technology and Innovation Policy, Shri Reddy said it
conveys Indias aspiration to emerge as one of the top global knowledge powers. The new policy also
stresses the importance of research that culminates in innovation. It seeks to highlight the need to integrate
science, research and innovation to develop valuable technologies. He said we have also initiated a PM
Doctoral Research Fellowship in partnership with industry. Already 30 fellowships have been awarded
19
to doctoral students. To me this is a landmark initiative and I hope that in coming years the young
recipients of the Fellowship will be instrumental in shaping a glorious future of science in India, the
minister added.
On this occasion some young students from different parts of country were also presented with the
ISCA - Infosys Travel Awards by Dr. Kalam.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF SECTIONAL COMMITTEES
(AS RECEIVED FROM SECTIONAL PRESIDENTS)
Agricultural and Forestry Sciences
1. Integrated farming system model involving livestock and dairy sector is essential for ushering
evergreen revolution in the country.
2. Group farming consisting of a collective approach of a farming community to work together with
appropriate work distribution is needed for livelihood security of resource poor farmers.
3. Custom hiring, market intelligence, family-farming agribusiness, use of cooperative system model
for procurement of farm produce of government needs to be promoted to ensure best economic
return to farming community.
4. There is a need to develop new watershed models involving principles of convergence, collective
action, capacity building and consortium for technical backstopping for improving productivity in
rainfed areas. Watersheds should be developed in a business model through knowledge based
entry points and the benefits must be shared among the farmers.
5. ICAR models like promoting village climate risk management committees, capacity building among
farmers, building social capital, encouraging farmer innovations, farming and rural employment for
social harmony (FRESH),linking farmers to markets, FARMERS FIRST and STUDENT READY,
women empowerment through mechanization, National Initiative for Climate Resilient Agriculture
( NICRA) need to be popularized in participatory research mode.
6. Major challenges for second green revolution are less availability of arable lands, water scarcity,
low productivity, declining soil health, small holdings of farmers, declining biodiversity, climate
change, low purchasing power of farmers, poor marketing etc. Therefore, opportunities lie with
developing genetically modified crops which can alleviate abiotic stress (RAPB gene), stress resilient
crop varieties, C4 rice and potato cultivars and biofortification of cereals with Fe and other essential
nutrients
7. Eastern India is a sleeping giant with immense resources and potentiality. The second green revolution
must start from this region through use of improved cultivars, enhancing input use efficiency, soil
health improvement, decreasing post harvest loss and value addition, increasing income of farmers
and developing climate resilient agricultural technologies.
8. There is a need for farm innovations and significant breakthrough in the technologies through high
density vertical farming, roof top gardening, protected agriculture and precision farming, water
saving techniques, public-private-partnership(PPP) etc .
9. Frontier scientific tools and long term strategy and policy research are required to mitigate the
impact of climate change on agriculture.
10. Imparting training and education to youth for adoption of agriculture science as career and
knowledge sharing with farming community is essential
41
11. Small and marginal farmers produce 80% of farmland and support 2.5 billion people. Therefore
National Year for family farming needs to be celebrated with enhanced investment in agriculture
for improving livelihood of agri-based people

Report on the Financial Statements :
We have audited the accompanying financial statements which comprise the attached Balance Sheet of the
Indian Science Congress Association and The Endowment Fund thereof as on 31
st
March, 2013 and the
Income and Expenditure Account of Grants (Plan & Non-Plan) and Endowment Fund and also the Receipts
and Payments Account for the year ended on that date annexed thereto and a summary of the significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Managements Responsibility for the financial statements :
The Associations Management is responsible for the preparation of these financial statements that give a
true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and closing cash / bank balances of the
Association in accordance with the Accounting Standards and in accordance with the accounting principles
generally accepted in lndia. This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of
internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and
fair view and are free from material mis-statement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors Responsibility :
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of
India. Those standards require that we comply with the ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financials are free of material mis-statement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgement, including the assessment
of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risks assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Associations preparation and
fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as well as, evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
