Dharwad
Karnatak University Vice-Chancellor KB Gudasi inaugurated the Miniature Nuclear Gallery set by the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL), Mumbai at Dharwad Regional Science Centre. Speaking on the occasion he called upon the teachers, students and citizens to visit the gallery to know more about the advances made by India in the field of nuclear science.
Deputy General Manager (HR-Media), NPCIL Amritesh Shrivatsava said there is a lot of misunderstanding among the people in India about nuclear energy and this needs to be allayed. The potential of atomic energy is high and it does not cause pollution, whereas the thermal energy generated using coal is more pollutant as it emanates carbon dioxide, he said. The newly set up Miniature Nuclear Gallery envisages providing the correct information about nuclear power and its safety and thereby helping to generate more nuclear energy and the nation’s development, he added. KU Registrar M Chandrama, DRSC Director VD Bolishetti, Juzoor Bhor of NPCIL and DRSC Curator Sandeep Ranjanagi were present.
