CELEBRATION OF WORLD SCIENCE DAY

Respected Prof. (Dr.) Ratnakar D. Bala, CEO & Director (Academics) IMRF
Institute for Research and Education.

Honoured Guests, Esteemed Awardees, Participants!

I welcome you all to this conference, organised by IMRF on the occasion

of celebration of ‘World Science Day’.

World Science Day for Peace and Development is an international

day that highlights the important role that science has in society and is
celebrated each year on November 10. It also highlights the need to engage the
wider public in debates on emerging scientific issues. World Science Day was
proclaimed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) in 2001.

By linking science more closely with society, ‘World Science Day’ aims
to ensure that citizens are kept informed of developments in science. It also
underscores the role scientists play in broadening our understanding of the
planet we call home and in making our societies more sustainable.
The objectives of World Science Day for Peace and Development are to:

 Strengthen public awareness on the role of science for peaceful

and sustainable societies;
 Promote national and international solidarity for shared science
between countries;
 Renew national and international commitment for the use of science
for the benefit of societies;
 Draw attention to the challenges faced by science and raising support
for the scientific endeavor.

It is a laudable that IMRF is honouring a few achievers for their

remarkable achievements in their respective fields to renew National and
International commitment for the use of science for the benefit of societies. I do
offer a compliment to them for their commendable achievements.

Now, I would like to articulate a few sentences about International

Multidisciplinary Research Foundation.

IMRF with its Academic Chapters in many Countries, since inception,

has a great academic, research and social priorities to promote the spirit of

socialization process in respect of reformation of attitudes to confer a serene
status for a rational being called man on this civilized planet, of course, from the
threshold of Ratna Prasad Multidisciplinary Research and Educational Society.

In the end I would like to offer my deep regards to Prof. (Dr.) Ratnakar
D. Bala for his such honest endeavour and my thankfulness to all who are
