100TH INDIAN SCIENCE
CONGRESS HELD AT SALT LAKE STADIUM, KOLKATA
The
100th Indian Science Congress held at a budget of RS. 3.5 crore at Salt Lake
Stadium, Kolkata concluded on early in January 2013. The Congress was held by
Calcutta University in coordination with the Department of Science and
Technology, government of India.
T.
Ramaswamy, the department's secretary, chaired the Congress. He felt
coordination with the university hosts had been a challenge and said there
would be a rethink whether such an event can be hosted in Kolkata,
apart
from a review of the process of registration on the spot.
At
the Children's Science Congress, part of the event,
some
students hoping to make presentations were disappointed for want of logistical
support.
The
fact that it was a centenary event led to record participation, with the number
of delegates jumping from
11,000
to 15,000 on the last two days, all registered on the spot. The total was
nearly twice the 8,000 who participated in last year's Congress in Bhubaneshwar.
"There
was an unexpected rush on January 1 and 2. Non-registered participants arrived
with their families,
without
prior intimation," said the university's pro VC (administration),
Dhrubyajyoti Chatterjee.
