C.N.R. Rao receives nano award

C.N.R. Rao

BANGALORE: C.N.R. Rao, Chairman, Science Advisory Council to the Prime Minister and honorary president of the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), was on Thursday conferred the first Bangalore Nano National Award for his outstanding achievements and sustained work in the field of nanotechnology.

Karnataka Governor Rameshwar Thakur presented the award to Prof. Rao at the Bangalore Nano 2007 — India’s first conference on nanotechnology — organised by the JNCASR, the Department of IT, BT and Science and Technology, Government of Karnataka, and MM Activ.

In his address, Prof. Rao said that though he was involved with organising the festival, the award came as a pleasant surprise.

“We need young minds to take nano technology forward apart from intense study and research in this field.”

Prof. Rao said that with the Government having allocated Rs.1,000 crore towards the study of nanotechnology, this exciting branch of science will receive the impetus it deserves.
