Naidu calls for a balance between modern science and traditional knowledge

He exhorts parents and teachers to narrate to children the noble characters in our epics to inculcate in them qualities like honesty, courage, commitment, responsibility and wisdom

Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat have unequivocally agreed upon the fact that modern science and traditional knowledge are never at loggerheads, and they mostly run in a concurrent manner.

Speaking after inaugurating the seventh edition of Bharatiya Vigyan Sammelan at National Sanskrit University (NSU) here on Friday, Mr. Naidu called for a balance between modern science and traditional learning, as “India's ancient knowledge systems must remain central to its scientific pursuits.”

He called upon scientists, administrators, scholars and policymakers to ensure India's progress on the track of Science and Technology, without deviating much from its established civilisational traditions.
