Scientists must play an active role in making science education more attractive to younger generation, said Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid yesterday.
Without investment in science, socio-economic and human development is not possible, he also said at the inaugural session of a conference on “Legacy of S N Bose: Contemporary Advances in Physical Sciences.â€

The education minister remembered the enormous contributions of late Prof Satyendra Nath Bose to quantum mechanics and modern science.
Bose is best known for his work on quantum mechanics in the early 1920s. He laid the foundation for Bose–Einstein statistics and the theory of the Bose–Einstein condensate.
