The 110-year-old ISCA is locked in a fierce tussle with govt over accusations of misusing funds and favouritism. Now a fight for autonomy is playing out in the corridors of power, court.
Speaking at 107th Indian Science Congress, Modi says science and technological innovations that can uplift livelihoods of the poor should be encouraged.
Organisers of the science congress have expressed 'shock' at comments like Einstein and Newton didn't understand physics, or Kauravas were test tube babies.

IAF is fine with accepting the aircraft with 'must-haves', even if some other steps remain pending, which may take at least another year, it is learnt.
RSS infiltration in such premier science and technology organisations will simply render them unfit for modern science. As it is, the Indian Science Congress has become a laughing stock of the international scientific community after papers were presented on “Aviation technology in ancient India”, “Stem cell technology in Mahabharata” and other such ridiculous topics.
It really is no wonder that no reputed scientist is willing to participate in the annual Congress. It has become a circus. Reflects rather poorly on the state of affairs in Indian science research.
Excellent story, The Print. Please do more such stories.
The world needs to know what is going on in such premier Indian science academies.
The fact that Mahabharata is being linked to modern stem cell research and Ramayana to modern aviation technology is crazy to say the least. Those responsible for auch quackery in the name of science must be named and shamed publicly.
Request The Print to investigate these matters seriously and expose the quacks and the corrupt.
