Focal ThemeReaching the Unreached Through Science & Technology: India has made exceptional advances in various branches of science and has imprinted its niche as a forthcoming ‘science hub’ with

special presence in the fields of space research, traditional and alternative medicines, computer science and basic science. The fruits

of scientific advances need to reach each and every citizen of India. It is crucial that science touches, influences and ushers in a

positive change among scores of individuals who were denied the comforts of scientific advancements due to multitude of reasons.

The theme of 105th Indian Science Congress, ‘Reaching the unreached through Science and Technology’ shall deliberate upon the

value of taking science to each and every citizen of India.

Prof. S. RamachandramVice-Chancellor, Osmania

University

Osmania University takes pride in hosting the prestigious 105th Indian Science Congress during its

centenary. On behalf of the Osmania community – faculty, non-teaching staff, scholars, students,

alumni and other stakeholders, I extend a warm welcome to all the delegates, participants,

policymakers, sponsors, exhibitors and media persons to the 105th Indian Science Congress being

hosted by Osmania University – one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in the country.

Hyderabad is proud to be hosting the Indian Science Congress for the seventh time. The 105th Indian

Science Congress is the first for youngest state of the Union – Telangana State. The theme of this

session 'Reaching the unreached through Science and Technology' emphasizes the value of taking

science to each and every citizen of India. India has made unprecedented advances in myriad branches

of science and has carved its niche as an upcoming 'science hotspot' in general with special presence in

the fields of space research, traditional and alternative medicines, computer science, and basic

sciences. With numerous deliberations and scientific interactions planned during the 105th Indian

Science Congress involving more than 20,000 inspired and brilliant minds, I'm hopeful that a blueprint

for developing a policy to ensure equitable sharing of the benefits of science for society will emerge. I

solicit your support and participation in the Pride of India Expo, 105th Indian Science Congress and

make it a grand success.

Messages from GP & VC

With all humility, I would like to extend a hearty welcome to all the esteemed scientists and participants

to the 105th session of Indian Science Congress to be held during 3-7 January, 2018 in the century old

Osmania University, Hyderabad. When the world and the civilization today stand at a cross road, there

could not have been a better theme for the session this year than 'Reaching the Unreached through

Science and Technology'.The 105th session of the Indian Science Congress is bound to draw the

attention of the scientists, technocrats and all other stakeholders to think over how the formidable

power of science and technology can bridge the gap between the rich and the poor and how to reach

the unreached in creating equal opportunity for everyone to do away with poverty, hunger, ignorance

and other evils which still block our ways in stepping into a new world of hope. As the General President

of this august session, I feel privileged to extend my warm welcome to each one of you to this great

historic Pearl City of Hyderabad-the city of smiles, lights, lakes, gardens, great monuments and

museums. I also take this opportunity to invite you to participate and support the Pride of India Expo,

one of the major attractions of ISC and showcase your achievements, initiatives and vision for the

future. Looking forward to meet you all in this great event, I remain with my best regards.
