One Response to Lecture by Prof. Xiangyi Li, Director, China Science and Technology Museum at NCSM Centres
  1. Hon’ble Sir,
    I am fortunate to listen you during the Kalinga Award Ceremony at INSA, New Delhi on 10th September 2014. I was amazing to hear that how a 76 year young man devoted his life for promotion and Popularization of Science and motivated millions of Chinese and other people around the globe to understand science.

    Sir , I would request you to kindly visit KIIT University (a very young University) and Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS), Bhubaneswar during your schedule visit to Bhubaneswar on 15th September 2014. KISS is an amazing Institution in the world where more than 22500 tribal children get Education (KG to PG), Healthcare and accommodation absolutely free.

    With best Regards

    Anant Ram
    Asstt. Registrar
