DIMAPUR: Insisting on linking science to human activities, former President, A P J Abdul Kalam on Saturday called upon the students to take up tree plantation on a mission mode to create billion trees in the country.
Addressing students at the 16th National Childrens' Science Congress, here Kalam administered an oath for the students to plant at least five trees in a year

Responding to a question posed by a student as how the country should respond if it is attacked by nuclear weapons, India's missile man asked the students not to worry about the country's' capability to face with such an eventuality and suggested the students to concentrate on studies.


Replying to another question on terrorism, Kalam said, "In my opinion terrorism is now a global problem, so a UN mechanism should be set up to deal with this challenge, but at the same time the country should also adopt proper strategy to face this problem".

The former President hoped that this 16th National Children's Science Congress would be a launching pad for the students to grapple with the environmental problems faced by the planet earth. He pointed out that the young people coming from different parts of the country can learn a lot from Nagaland where the environment and nature has been protected by the Naga warriors with their wisdom.

Speaking on the occasion, former UGC chairman and noted scientist, professor Yash Pal emphasized the need for making a paradigm shift in higher education, saying all efforts must be made to transform our universities to the centre of excellence so that we can also produce Nobel laureates like MIT.

He suggested that the new Central universities proposed to be set up in the country must include undergraduate courses. The five day science congress is being held under the theme Planet Earth Our hope: Explore, Share & Care, which was attended by over 1,200 delegates comprising students, teachers an scientists.

Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio, Nagaland Education minister Nyiewang Konyang and secretary to the government of India's department of Science & technology T Ramasami attended the inaugural function of the Congress which was held for
the first time in Nagaland.
