Indian Science Congress In Hyderabad Postponed
Hyderabad:
The 105th Indian Science Congress, which was to be held at the Osmania University here from January 3 to 7 next year, has been indefinitely postponed, the university said today. The Indian Science Congress Association said on its website that the university's vice chancellor has expressed inability to host the event due to certain issues on the campus. The university's vice chancellor, S Ramachandram, said though they were fully prepared to host the event, the decision to postpone it had to be taken due to things beyond their control.
"We were fully prepared. (We had to take this decision) keeping in view the recent incidents on the campus," he said. Notably, a 20-year-old student had allegedly committed suicide on December 3 on the campus. The body of the first-year student of MSc Physics at the university, was found hanging in the washroom of one of the hostels on the campus. Protests were held on the campus after the incident.
The university said it hopes the event would be held in the near future after holding further discussions with the the Indian Science Congress Association.
The university, in all its earnestness, was fully prepared to conduct the event. Several committees worked for the past three months tirelessly to ensure smooth conduct of the event, it said.
"In fact, the university changed the examination schedule for this purpose. At one point in time, the university was flexible and was willing to have the inaugural event outside the campus and the remaining sessions on the campus even if it meant incurring more expenditure and inconvenience," the release said.
