Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said Science
should play an important role in tackling problems faced by the public
including food safety, shelter, energy, water and waste management in the state.
Speaking after presenting the prestigious Science
Literature awards instituted by Kerala State Council for Science, Technology
and Environment (KSCSTE), he said “Science grows only when its benefits reach
out to the common people, he said adding that the general awareness and
interest about scientific developments, research and innovations is still very
low in India. “If science is to be part of our day to day life it has to be
promoted well.”
Chandy also announced a new scheme, the Science
Research and Invention in Schools for Technological Innovation (SRISTI), for
promoting inventions among school children. SRISTI is a programme under which
one school from each district will be selected to foster scientific temper
among Plus Two students, by providing financial and technical assistance to
support their innovations. The students will be under the guidance of a
coordinator.
