‘Krinvantho Viswamariyam’ As embodied in these ancient
ever relevant words of wisdom, we realize that to fulfil
our global responsibilities, it is inevitable for India to
achieve prosperity in all areas of thought and action. We
also understand fully that only through the path of
self-reliance, built up on indigenous values and
scientific temper, can Bharath achieve sustainable
development in the modern era of competition.
Swasraya Bharath is a unique movement for a self reliant
India. National self reliance is the foundation for
comprehensive development of our country. Achievements of
these goals involves a gigantic effort by the society as a
whole. We need to motivate our students, youth,
scientists, technocrats, academicians and the public at
large to participate in this national effort for self
reliance. Spreading the message of India’s growth,
development and success will scientifically boost the
morale of our society. Swasraya Bharath was initiated by
Swadeshi Science Movement (Kerala Chapter of Vinjana
Bharathi) in 2005 and it has been graced by eminent
personalities in different walks of life.
Last year Swasraya Bharath 2007 was celebrated during 9th-15th October 2007 at Kochi, Kerala. Tens of thousands
of students and general public had the opportunity to
interact with experts from various fields of science,
engineering and technology.
Dr. R.Chidambaram, Principal
Scientific Advisor to the Govt. of India inaugurated the
event. |
