The Indian People’s Science Congress has said that it will push for anti-superstition laws at national and State-levels.
The five-day, two-yearly event wrapped up here on Monday with a resolution to continue the fight against obscurantism and demand for quality science education.
Over the next two years, its State councils would intensify activities for anti-superstition laws across the country, its spokesperson and environmental scientist Subhankar Chakraborty of Bengaluru said.
A workshop on this theme was the highlight of the Congress. Bengaluru-based astrophysicist Sabyasachi Chatterjee was elected president of its 27-member executive council for the next two years. Outgoing general secretary T. Gangadharan said the next conference will be in Odisha.
