India Needs to Improve on Nano Tech, Says Defence Minister Aide -The New Indian Express
VISAKHAPATNAM: “India is weak in Nano and Sensor Technology which has to be properly improved and built,” said Dr VK Aatre, former DG of DRDO, DG ADA (Aeronautical Development Agency) and Scientific Advisor to the Defence Ministry. He inaugurated a seminar at YVS Murthy Auditorium here Tuesday on Smart Sensors and Systems (S2S-N15), organised by the department of Instrument Technology, Andhra University College of Engineering, and Institute of Smart Structures and Systems, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.
Addressing the students, Dr Aatre said that there were people who said that Nano technology creates many problems but nothing comes without risk and we cannot do without technology. “Science can be used and abused,” he added. “Nano and Sensor technology now plays a major role in medical field and a dominant role in health monitoring systems,” said Dr Aatre. Predicting the next generation technology, he said that there would come a day when everyone would wear a wrist watch which could regulate our health and human impulsions. He said that science had improved in such a way that you cannot distinguish between a human and a robot.
He suggested the younger generation to know about the history of science, become the next generation scientists using technology for the good of society, especially global warming, an issue to be solved, and Nano technology which affects the way of living, health and use of gadgets. Later a souvenir was released by Dr Aatre.
