AP: Birla Centre launches website
Hyderabad, Aug 8: BM Birla Science Centre Managing Trustee Nirmala Birla launched the centre's website www.birlasciencecentre.org here.
Speaking on the occasion yesterday, Ms Birla said the Birla Science Centres were offering fellowships to students, who aspired to do research in maths and computer sciences. Every year nine fellowships were being offered to the students, she said, adding this would be increased to 16 from this year.
Expressing concern over decline in the R and D activities in the country, compared to developed countries, she said the Birla Science Centre was planning to strengthen the R and D in science in a big way in future.
Science Centre's Director B G Siddardh said human resource crisis in the area of science was still continuing in the country.
Strengthening of the R and D facility would bridge the gap in science development.
