The exhibition will run daily from 9 am to 4 pm.
While speaking as the president on the occasion, the Director General of the Science Museum said, "Being a doctor, researcher or scientist alone is not the meaning of life. Acquiring a degree or knowledge is futile if there is no integrity and ethics in life practice. If there are no honest engineers, honest doctors, honest scientists or honest administrators, the benefits of science practice will not be sustainable. All achievements will become fragile. There is a lot of talent spread in the remote areas, that talent should be used in innovative ways to prevent environmental pollution, prevent food adulteration, improve living standards and increase productivity.'
He also said, "Robots are now being preferred all over the world as substitutes for humans for getting rid of evasion, bribery and neglect, which is highly disrespectful to humans as the best creatures of Allah." The superiority of man in his intellect, creativity and morality, must be proved by mankind. Science is not about memorization. Science cannot be swallowed the way animals swallow food, science is a matter of practice. Many contemporary challenges or problems can be solved by applying science and technology in every field. The application of modern technology is also essential in extracting and using the endless natural resources given by Almighty Allah in this world. It is possible to create a developed and corruption free society by combining the spirit of science with the spirit of honesty”.
Science and Technology Minister Architect Yafesh Osman and Secretary Ziaul Hasan will attend the closing ceremony on June 21.
