Vijayawada: The fruits of science can benefit the masses by the way of improving health, environment and economic conditions, said Prof A Durga Prasada Rao, Registrar of Vikrama Simhapuri University, Nellore.
He participated as chief guest at the inaugural function of Science Club of Andhra Loyola College (ALC), organised by the Department of Physics here on Monday.
Addressing the gathering, Durga Prasada Rao said that even though there were several students studying science, the fruits of science and scientific thinking were not reaching the common man.
He said the students should study the inner meaning of science to convince the masses to get the real benefits of science. He further said that superstition and blind beliefs were not only with the masses but also in educated people and the Science Club like this could change these evils.
According to Article 51 A (H) of the Indian Constitution, he said the citizens should promote scientific temper that will facilitate human development. The students should not confine to syllabus but strive hard to develop co-curricular activities such as promotion of sciences, he advised.
Dr Vijayanad, Dean of Sciences, Dr Sai Prasad Controller of Exams of Vikrama Simhapuri University were the guests of honour.Dr Fr Sagaya Raj, ALC correspondent, Dr Rex Angelo, vice-principal (PG), Fr S Melchior vice-principal (UG), and students of ALC were present.
