The subject which is been usually assumed as a dull study matter, if with self-interest accompanied by analyzing it practically then only the topic will appear interesting, Dr. Devrani further added.
The chief guest in his speech expressed that science has provided human beings both constructive (citing the example of things which added comfort to life) and destructive (like those of nuclear weapons which have killed thousands of innocent lives) course and it is up to the masses to chose any of the two.
