Ancient Knowledge Is Basis Of Modern Science: Dr Raghunath Mashelkar At Conference In Pune
Pune, 19th October 2022: A conference on the Place of Mathematics in Nation Building and Children’s Development was organized in Pune by Maap Epic Communications in association with District Headmasters Association and Pune District Science Teachers Association. This conference aimed to create a positive attitude towards mathematics in the students.
After the conference, opinions and articles were invited from various schools, educational institutes, teachers, and principals on the topic – Place of Mathematics in Nation Building and Children’s Development. The book based on the opinions of experts and selected articles was unveiled by Senior Scientist Dr Raghunath Mashelkar. Founder Director of Maap Epic Communications Mandar Namjoshi, Nirmitee Namjoshi, Dr Prachi Sathe, Pooja Jadhav, Dr Ashwini Datar, Dr Pratik Mungekar, Vaishali Lokhande, Dnyanesh Kute, and Purshottam Belvalkar was present at that time.
Dr Mashelkar was happy to know about the projects of Maap Epic, Anknaad and Ganitalay (House Of Mathematics). He listened to musical Tables in Marathi, Hindi and English specially made for students and also openly interacted with students’ educational problems. On this occasion, he expressed his regret that the burden of books imposed on the students is unnecessary. He said children should not be underestimated. “Children’s power of understanding is beyond our estimation. Children should be allowed free movement in all spheres,” he said.
Talking about the current situation of education, he said, “Engineering is not limited to certain branches; engineering should be first in terms of ‘solution engineering’. Ancient knowledge is the basis of modern science.” He also expressed that better effectiveness will be seen if both ancient medical methods and modern science are combined without falling into the debate of ancient or modern. He sadly said India is currently witnessing mutual distrust and negativity, which is hindering the country’s progress.
