Speaking at the event, Keshab Mahanta, said, “IISF 2024 has truly been a remarkable celebration of India’s scientific achievements, underscoring the pivotal role of science and technology in shaping our future. Over the last four days, we have witnessed an inspiring display of innovation, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing, with participants from all walks of life coming together to explore the transformative power of science.
