It is indeed a great pleasure and pride for me that the 106th session of Indian Science Congress Association
will be held at the beautiful campus with state of art infrastructural facilities of Lovely Professional
University, Phagwara, Punjab during 3-7 January,2019.
More than fifteen thousand delegates including Nobel Laureates, Science policy makers, science
administrators, eminent scientists from India and abroad, young researchers and school children are
expected to participate at this largest scientific meet of India. Throughout the 106 years of its existence,
ISCA has played a pivotal role in stimulating scientific research effort and raising the scientific temperament
of our country. The activities of Indian Science Congress Association have always remained viable
throughout this entire period of time by imbibing the issues of contemporary scientific need of our country.
This year the focal theme will be 'Future India: Science and Technology'.We understand that the growth
and prosperity of a Nation depends upon the scientific and technological development of the country.
Invaluable contribution of Indian Scientists in almost all areas of research such as agricultural science,
medical science, space and atomic sciences etc. has helped India to grow and prosper. However, despite the
fact that current scientific and technological development has benefitted the society, yet this has been tagged
with a large number of formidable challenges to future India. For example, emergence and re-emergence of
infectious diseases due to climate change, water crisis, necessity of increased production of food grains to
feed a large number of population, requirement of increased energy etc., are only a few of the problems to be
named. Major breakthrough in the field of biotechnology and agricultural sciences is still awaited so that our
country becomes self-sufficient. Therefore our scientists are trying their best to combat these challenges.
I firmly believe that the 106th session of Indian Science Congress will be a milestone for the future
development of our country since it will provide the platform to exchange ideas and innovations among the
brilliant minds.
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you on behalf of The Indian Science Congress Association
and the host university to attend the 106th session of Indian Science Congress to be held at Lovely
Professional University during 3-7 January, 2019.

Dr. Manoj Kumar Chakrabarti

 Shri Ashok Mittal

Indian Science Congress is one of the foremost scientific events of the world, which interests
international scientific community. It has immensely contributed to promoting and sharing cutting edge
research and in stimulating scientific temper.

Modern India realises that scientific research is a key element in the holistic development of the country
and the focal theme of 106th Congress, 'Future India: Science and Technology' reflects the same
aspiration. Developments in science and technology have vitally altered the way people live, trade,
inter-connect and compete. However, the scientific quest is an unending journey which seeks to take the
fruits of development to the common man so that it can contribute more in the development of society
and humanity. I am certain that the 106th Indian Science Congress will further enhance the formation of
global companionship by following Indian philosophy of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.'

With tremendous pleasure and utmost gladness, I extend a very warm welcome to all the dignitaries,
champions of scientific research, delegates, associates and other stakeholders to the 106th session of the
Indian Science Congress at Lovely Professional University. I sincerely believe that your presence will
add a fresh dimension to this monumental event.

 GENESIS
The Indian Science Congress Association
(ISCA) owes its origin to the foresight and
initiative of two British Chemists, namely,
Professor J. L. Simonsen and Professor P.S.
MacMahon. It was their view that scientific
research in India would be stimulated if an
annual meeting of research workers somewhat
on the lines of the British Association for the
Advancement of Science could be arranged.
The Association was formed with the following
objectives :
a) To advance and promote the cause of
Science in India;
b) To hold an annual Congress at a suitable
place in India;
c) To publish such proceedings, journals,
transactions and other publications as
may be considered desirable;
d) To secure and manage funds and
endowments for the promotion of
Science including the rights of disposing
of or selling all or any portion of the
properties of the Association;
e) To do and perform any or all other acts,
matters and things as are conducive to, or
incidental to, or necessary for, the above
objects.
ISCA AND THE ASIATIC SOCIETY OF BENGAL
The generous and sympathetic attitude of the
Asiatic Society towards scientific development
in India created conditions for the holding of the
first meeting of the Congress in 1914. From that
time onwards, the Asiatic Society took
considerable care in nurturing the infant
organization and managing its affairs. In fact, the
ISCA continued to enjoy the hospitality of the
8
paternal home for 25 years since its inception.
But the rapid growth of activities of the ISCA
made it impossible for the Asiatic Society to look
after it properly. Therefore, soon after the Silver
Jubilee Session of the Congress (1938) the
headquarters of the Association were shifted
elsewhere, to be easily accessible to the then
General Secretaries of the Association, First in
the premises of the Calcutta University and later,
in the Presidency College, Calcutta. In 1947, the
Indian Science Congress Association again
returned to the buildings of the Asiatic Society of
Bengal and continued to carry on its steadily
increasing activities from this centre at 1, Park
Street, Calcutta. The need for having a
permanent habitation of the Association was
keenly felt in 1948-49 and Dr. B. Mukerji, the
then General Secretary, broached the subject in
several meetings of the Association and
proposed creation of a “Building Fund” for the
Association.
The question of a permanent habitation was kept
in abeyance till 1952, when the Executive
Committee of the Association ultimately created
a “Building Fund” out of its savings. The
Calcutta Corporation generously agreed, as a
mark of their interest in the cause of the progress
of science in India, to give on 99 years lease a
piece of land measuring about 20,800 sq. ft. at
64, Dilkhusa Street, Calcutta 17, on a nominal
rent of ` 1/- per year. The announcement about
the gift of this land was made at the inaugural
th
function of the 40 Session of the Indian Science
Congress held at Lucknow in January, 1953.
As the Association had little resources of its own,
attention was now diverted to the procurement of
the necessary money for constructing the
building. Representations were made to the
Government of India, for a capital grant of ` 5.5
lakhs in 1995. The Government of India agreed
to sanction ` 2 lakhs in early 1956, and
subsequently of Government of West Bengal
also sanctioned a sum of ` 1 lakh.
The annexe was completed in 1957 and the
office of the Association was shifted there from
the premises of the Asiatic Society.
The first meeting of
the Congress was
held from January
15-17, 1914 at the
premises of the
A s i a t i c S o c i e t y,
Calcutta, with the
Honourable Justice
Sir Asutosh
Mookerjee, the then
Vice-Chancellor of
the Calcutta
Sir Asutosh Mookerjee U n i v e r s i t y, a s
President. One
hundred and five scientists from different parts
of India and abroad attended. The 35 papers
presented were divided into six sections-Botany,
Chemistry, Ethnography, Geology, Physics,
Zoology under six Sectional Presidents.
From this modest beginning with hundred and
five members and thirty five papers
communicated for reading at the first session,
ISCA has grown into a strong fraternity with
more than Fifty thousand members till to date.
The number of papers communicated for reading
has risen to nearly two thousand. Upto year 2000
there were Sixteen sections, two committees and
six forums, namely Sections on Agricultural
Sciences, Anthropology & Archaeology,
Biochemistry, Biophysics & Molecular Biology,
Botany, Chemistry, Computer Sciences, Earth
System Sciences, Engineering Sciences,
Material Sciences, Mathematics, Medical &
Veterinary Sciences, Physics, Physiology,
Psychology & Educational Sciences, Statistics,
Zoology, Entomology & Fisheries; Committees-
Home Sciences, Science & Society; Forums-
Communication & Information Science,
Environmental Sciences, Forensic Science,
Science Education, Science for School Students
9
and Women & Science.
There are now fourteen sections namely
Agriculture and Forestry Sciences, Animal,
Ve t e r i n a r y a n d F i s h e r y S c i e n c e s ,
Anthropological and Behavioural Sciences
(including Archaeology, Psychology, Education
and Military Sciences), Chemical Sciences,
Earth System Sciences, Engineering Sciences,
Environmental Sciences, Information and
Communication Science & Technology
(including Computer Sciences), Materials
Science, Mathematical Sciences (including
Statistics), Medical Sciences (including
Physiology), New Biology (including
Biochemistry, Biophysics & Molecular Biology
and Biotechnology), Physical Sciences, Plant
Sciences and one Committee Science & Society.
SILVER JUBILEE
The Silver Jubilee Session of the Science
Congress was held at Calcutta in 1938 under the
Presidentship of Lord Rutherford of Nelson but
due to his sudden demise, Sir James Jeans took
the chair. It was at this Jubilee Session that the
participation of foreign scientists in session of
the Indian Science Congress was first initiated.
PANDIT JAWAHARLAL NEHRU PRESIDES
OVER THIRTY FOURTH SESSION - 1947
On the eve of Indian
Independence, the
th
34 Annual Session
of the Indian
Science Congress
was held at Delhi in
January 1947 with
Pandit Jawaharlal
Nehru, Prime
Minister of India, as
General President.
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru P a n d i t N e h r u ’s
personal interest in
the Science Congress continued ever since and
there had been hardly any session during his
lifetime which he did not attend. He has
immensely enriched the activities of the
Congress by his sustained interest in the
development of scientific atmosphere in the
country, particularly among young generations.
Interaction with Foreign Scientific Academies/
Associations. Infact from 1947, Programme for
inviting representatives from foreign societies
and academies was included in the Science
Congress. This trend still continues with the
support of the Department of Science &
Technology, Government of India. After
independence ISCA has actively represented in
various foreign scientific academies/
associations, namely British Association for the
Advancement of Science, American Association
for the Advancement of Science, French
Academy of Sciences, Bangladesh Academy of
Sciences, Sri Lanka Association for the
Advancement of Science, etc. with a view to
have a first hand knowledge on topics of mutual
interest.
GOLDEN JUBILEE
The Science Congress celebrated its Golden
Jubilee in October, 1963 at Delhi with Prof.D.S.
Kothari as General President. On this occasion
two special publications were brought out :
(1) A short History of the Indian Science
Congress Association and
(2) Fifty Years of Science in India (in 12
volumes, each volume containing
reviews of particular branch of science).
DIAMOND JUBILEE
The Diamond Jubilee Session of the Science
Congress was held at Chandigarh in January 3-9,
1973, under the Presidentship of Dr.
S.Bhagavantam. On this occasion two special
publications were brought out :
(1) A Decade (1963-72) Indian Science
Congress Association (with life-
sketches of General Presidents) and
(2) A Decade (1963-72) of Science in India
(in section-wise).
INTRODUCTION OF FOCAL THEME
The year 1976 witnessed a significant
development in the trend of deliberations during
the congress. It was being felt for sometime that
such a gathering of scientists, covering a wide
spectrum ought to be seized of national issues
that have scientific and technological
implications. In 1976, Dr.M.S.Swaminathan, the
then General President of ISCA introduced the
Focal Theme of national relevence which is now
discussed in every section, committee and forum
during the annual session. These apart, several
plenary sessions are organised around various
facets of the Focal Theme in which scientists and
technologists as well as policy makers and
administrators interact with one another. ISCA
has thus become a platform where members
from different disciplines and from different
walks of life can contribute to discussions on the
Focal Theme.
TASK FORCE
Another significant breakthrough was made in
1980 when the Department of Science &
Technology, Government of India, set up a
permanent Task Force involving representatives
of ISCA and chiefs of different agencies and
voluntary organizations chaired by Secretary,
DST, as being responsible for following up
various recommendations on the Focal
Theme. Every year follow-up actions on
recommendations made in the previous Science
Congress are discussed at a General Session
organized by DST during the Science Congress.
Through this process, the Indian Science
Congress Association has been contributing to
the development of Science in general and
National Science Policy, in particular.

 YOUNG SCIENTIST’S AWARD CENTENARY SESSION
PROGRAMME

Indian Science Congress Association introduced
the programme for Young Scientists from the 68th
session of the Indian Science Congress in 1981.
The programme enables Young Scientists to
present their research work with opportunities to
exchange ideas in the relevant scientific
problems with their counterparts and specialists.
The ISCA Young Scientist Awards are given to
candidates for making the best presentations.
Fourteen such awards are given at present. The
award amount has been enhanced from ` 5,000/-
from 93rd session and now carries ` 25,000/- and
a Certificate of merit.
PLATINUM JUBILEE
The Indian Science Congress Association
celebrated its Seventy Fifth year of its incepton,
popularly called otherwise, Platinum Jubilee, in
1988, with Prof.C.N.R. Rao as General
President. Keeping this in view, a special
brochure, entitled “Indian Science Congress
Association-Growth & Activities” was
published so as to highlight the programmes of
the Association over the years. The main
programmes were:
(i) Bringing out special publication on the
occasion of the Platinum Jubilee
(ii) Presentation of Plaques to the General
Presidents of the Association
(iii)Establishment of Platinum Jubilee
Lectures to be organised in each section
during the annual session of the Science
Congress and
(iv) Extension of the recent activities of the
ISCA and its further diversification to
generate scientific temper and
popularize science.
The Indian Science Congress Association
celebrated its Hundredth year of its incepton in
June 2, 2012 and the Centenary Session was held
at Kolkata in 2013 under the Presidentship of
Dr. Manmohan Singh, Honourable Prime
Minister of India.
On this occasion:
Ten number of Asutosh Mookerjee Fellowships
were instituted to honour and encourage senior
scientists in India.
The Science, Tech-
nology and Inno-
vation Policy 2013
was released.
India Postage
Stamps were
released by Depart-
ment of Posts for
the centenary
celebration.
A special book
Dr. Manmohan Singh entitled “The
Centenary Session
of the Indian Science Congress Nationwide
Celebration” was published so as to presented
the information about the initiatives of the Indian
Science Congress Association towards the
centenary celebration through its various
chapters in India.
PRESENTATION OF PAPERS
It was decided that generally most of the
contributed Papers, which were accepted on the
basis of a careful screening by the concerned
Sectional President by way of posters. Further, to
encourage scientists it was decided that at most
two Prizes of ` 1,000/- in cash along with a
certificate to be awarded to the best presentation

11
in each Section from 86th Session. The award
money has been enhanced to ` 5,000/- from 94th
Session. Since 2013-14 best poster presentation
award has been converted to a separate
programme.
ISCA CHAPTERS
The Association started organizing popular
science lectures in different centers in India from
1962-63. The scheme envisages constructive
work for the popularization and advancement of
science throughout the year. Till 1985-86 these
lectures were delivered at seventeen centres
spread over the country. However, this was
restructured with the formation of Regional
PLATINUM JUBILEE
Chapters from 1986-1987. One of the major
objectives of the ISCA is to inculcate the
Scientific temper among the people and to
encourage young scientists to grow up
steadily in this direction involving them in
the programmes relevant to fundamental,
experimental and operational activities. With
these objectives in view, ISCA started Chapters
from 1986-87 in different places in India. At
present twenty six ISCA Chapters are at
Allahabad, Amravati, Bangalore, Baroda,
Bhubaneswar, Chennai, Cochin, Coimbatore,
Delhi, Dharmanagar, Haridwar, Hyderabad,
Imphal, Jaipur, Jammu, Kanpur, Kolkata,
Patiala, Patna, Pondicherry, Rothak, Sagar,
Shillong, Shimla, Srinagar, Tirupati.

 S ince the birth of our nation, Indian
Scientists and Technologists have been
contributing significantly to Her growth. At the
time of independence, our economy was in a
shattered condition. We had limited infrastructural
facilities to conduct state-of-the-art research in
science and Technology. We depended on
imported food grains to feed our population. But
in spite of having limited resources, Indian
Scientists and Technologists made a breakthrough
in various fields for the growth and betterment of
the nation. Agricultural scientists made invaluable
progress in crop production, which ultimately led
to the Green Revolution. After the Green
Revolution, we have become self-sufficient in
food. Simultaneously, we ushered in the white
revolution, making our country the largest
producer of milk. We also achieved the blue
revolution by increasing the production of fish.
Indian scientists and technologists have achieved
great success in space research. The first satellite
launched by India was based entirely on imported
technology. However, within a few years, India
became self-sufficient in space research, which
can be substantiated by wholly indigenous
successful projects like Chandrayan to explore
moon and Mangalayan to explore Mars.
Moreover, in 2017, India broke the record by
launching 104 satellites from a single rocket,
beating the previous record of 37 set by Russia.
Additionally, Indian scientists have also shown
their competence in nuclear research. India is one
of the countries having complete infrastructure for
a viable nuclear program.
Another achievement that stands out is the
reduction in death rates. Infant mortality has gone
21
down almost half of what it was 70 years ago.
Average life expectancy has gone up by more than
30 years. The pharmaceutical industry of India has
flourished and is ranked fourth in the world.
Today, Indians are dictating terms in global IT
industry. There is a massive demand for skilled
Indian IT professionals across the globe.
But, we should not feel satiated with our science
and technological achievements. In spite of all the
success stories, we are at the doorsteps of several
formidable challenges. Only innovative and better
translational scientific research can rescue us from
the current obstacles. Even today, we are the
largest importer of some foreign products
including military equipment, medical supplies as
well as biological equipment and rare chemicals
needed for research.
Studies have reported that by 2030 India's demand
for food grains would be around 300 million
tonnes, which is an increase of about 27% since
2010.Initiatives, such as the ones undertaken by
the Government of India through the digital India
programme are uplifting the current state of
farming. However, significant breakthroughs in
the field of Biotechnology and Agricultural
Sciences are still required to achieve India's full
potential. Neo-avenues of agriculture, through the
innovative use of Genetically Modified Organism
or efficient irrigation, must be explored for a better
future of our Nation.
Regarding the manufacturing sector, India has
silently become one of the world's leading
automobile market. With over 3.8 million cars
manufactured every year, India has passed
the automobile giant, Germany. However,
manufacturing sector contributes only 17% of
our GDP. Therefore, India still lacks in
othermanufacturing industries, a problem that
needs our immediate attention. A significant
technological intervention will be the key to
realizing this dream. Most importantly, more
innovative and out of the box measures have to be
undertaken to come up with smaller, smarter, and
22
cheaper technology that will be able to reach every
Indian. At the 106th session of Indian Science
Congress, Scientists and technologists from India
and abroad, which includes Nobel Laureates,
junior and senior researchers, will discuss
different issues related to growth and progress of
Future India. All of us are looking forward to a
brighter future for our nation with the contribution
of the Scientists and Technologists.
