On the occasion of National Science Day, Kumud Chandra Bhattacharya, former director of Northeastern Space Application Centre (an unit of Isro), spoke to school students and young researchers at Guwahati Planetarium on Friday. He highlighted the importance of sustainable energy for a greener future.
This year’s theme, ‘Empowering Indian youth for global leadership in science and innovation for Viksit Bharat’, highlights the crucial role of young minds in advancing India’s scientific and technological progress.
Bhattacharya said the application of advanced science and technology is crucial in addressing the pressing challenges that continue to hinder societal progress. “Issues such as rapid population growth, food production constraints, need for efficient drinking water recycling, sustainable transportation systems, air pollution control and comprehensive urban planning require innovative solutions. Additionally, advancements in healthcare and medical technology play a vital role in ensuring the well-being of citizens. These challenges stand as obstacles on the path to a Vikasit Bharat, necessitating a strategic approach that leverages scientific research, technological breakthroughs and sustainable policies to foster long-term progress,” Bhattacharya added.
He stressed the need for adequate energy resources to tackle the growing global challenges, underscoring the importance of innovation in energy production as a key solution to mitigating the effects of global warming.
“The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has risen dramatically, contributing to severe climate-related consequences. These include increasingly extreme weather patterns, with scorching summers and bitterly cold winters becoming more frequent. Additionally, the scarcity of clean drinking water has become a pressing issue, leaving communities more vulnerable to health risks and the spread of diseases. Heightened frequency of natural disasters, highlights the urgent need for sustainable energy solutions to curb the escalating impacts of climate change,” he said.
Marveling at the remarkable phenomenon of the Raman Effect, discovered by C.V. Raman in 1928, He added that its impact on modern science and technology. “Numerous advancements across various fields owe their progress to the principles of the Raman Effect, the list of applications continues to expand endlessly, shaping the way we understand and interact with the world around us,” he said.
