The North Bengal University in Siliguri has been selected to host the Bengali Science Congress, a science seminar, for two days in the end of February next year. According to varsity sources, the authorities were informed by officials of the state science and technology department about hosting the two-day event on Thursday. “The trend of hosting the Bengali Science Congress was started by the former Left Front government. The main aim of holding such a meet is to encourage young students to take up science in their higher studies, pursue research or build careers in the field. Even research scholars benefit from the meet as they get to know about the recent findings in the field, new technologies and new areas which can be subject of future research,” said a university official. The two-day event will be conducted mostly in Bengali and thus, it has been titled ‘Bengali Science Congress’. Students may not understand certain scientific terms in English and that is why Bengali has been kept as the medium of instruction. Most of the lectures, exhibitions and posters will be in Bengali. “Such events will help clear their doubts and also give them direction as to which field of science they want to take up in future,” he further said. “We are hosting the event after around 16 years. The host varsity as well as the state department will soon choose the resource persons for the event which will start from February 28 next year,” added the official. HS
