Dr Magesan for global forum
Global Indian Scientists and Technocrats (GIST) forum is a unique knowledge exchange platform for Indian scientists and technocrats spread within the country and across the world. This forum also involves the policymakers and opinion makers to give a holistic approach for creating definitive path towards sustainable development.
Over 200,000 Indian scientists and technocrats work outside India and they form a powerful and rich source of intellectual wealth.
GIST forum not only intends to connect and bring scientists together to find sustainable solutions for the standing and awaiting problems of our society but also to promote science for the well being of humanity.
“GIST convention is a new initiative” said Jayant Sahasrabudhe, National Organising Secretary for Vijnana Bharati, a non-governmental organisation promoting indigenous science and technology in India.
The first GIST convention is on “Scientific & Technological approaches for sustainable use of water resources” and it will be held at Pune, Maharastra, India on 26 and 27 December 2010. This is jointly organised by Vijnana Bharati and Maharashtra Education Society, Pune.
Dr Guna Magesan, a senior scientist with Scion (New Zealand Forest Research Institute Ltd), Rotorua has been invited to be one of the international co-ordinators for GIST forum.
“We have pleasure in welcoming you to the GIST convention 2010 organising committee. Your support and contribution will make this convention more meaningful” said Mr Shrikant Kulkarni, Secretary for GIST Convention 2010.
“As you have very good and immense number of contacts in Indian Science and Technology fraternity abroad, we seek your help in spreading the word about GIST2010 convention” he added.
Eminent scientists and technocrats have appreciated the concept of GIST forum and are actively promoting GIST 2010 convention. Reputed nuclear scientist, Dr. Anil Kakodkar, ex Chairman Department of Atomic Energy, is the Chairman of Advisory Board for GIST 2010. Dr. Madhavrao Chitale (recipient of Stockholm Water Prize), and the dignitaries like Dr. Mashelkar, Dr. Madhav Gadgil, Dr. Yashvant Waghmare, Dr. G.D.Yadav, Dr. Satish Shenoy are on the Advisory board.
Dr. Chandrakant Thatte is the chairperson of scientific programme committee, while Dr. Vijay Bhatkar (national president of Vijnana Bharati) is the chairman of convention committee.
Freshwater is a finite renewable resource in India. But, there is a big demand for it from both consumptive (e.g. agriculture) and non-consumptive (drinking, domestic, industry, and energy) uses due to spurt in economic activity, urbanization and industrialization.
Naturally, water gets attention in this convention and the topics include: River Basin Hydrology and Climate change; Water and Irrigated Agriculture; Water for Energy; Water for Environment; and Water for Drinking/Domestic and Industrial Use.
Abstracts of papers related to these above topics are invited from scientists, researchers, innovators, professionals and industrial organizations by 1st September 2010. Abstracts can be sent on email to: abstracts@gist2010.org
