Bhopal : Curiosity and wilful are the mother of science, promotion of new thinking is the priority of the government, said CM Shivraj
Curiosity and wilful are the mother of science. Science is considered the mother of technology, but curiosity is also the mother of science. Curiosity only helps us to understand any formula of science or mathematics. It should be our aim that we should use our maximum energy in awakening the curiosity towards science in the public mind. If there is curiosity for a subject and there is no insistence to complete it, then that work can never be completed.
Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said this while addressing the inauguration program of the eighth India International Science Festival. On this occasion, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh also thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for organizing the festival in the capital Bhopal.
Chief Minister Shivraj said that there are many deadlocks in any work, but it is the stubbornness that keeps us determined to complete that work. Keeping this formula of curiosity and stubbornness in mind, Science Technology and Innovation Policy-2022 has been implemented in the state.
Making scientific thinking and understanding a part of daily life, maximum use of modern technologies in government and society and three points of creating new thinking, new learning and new initiative generation are the basis of our policy.

Kalaiselvi and State’s Minister for Science and Technology Nikunj Srivastava were specially present.
In the program, Union Minister of State Dr. Jitendra Singh said that this program has been organized in the form of a festival with the aim of connecting science with people. The picture of India of the year 2047 will be determined by science, technology and innovation. We need to pay special attention in this area.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has simplified and rationalized the system of study and research of science. This has created new opportunities for the youth and has accelerated the pace of development of the country. There is a lot of scope for activities in the field of agriculture, bamboo and “waste-to-wealth” in Madhya Pradesh.
