Nellore: Armed with the success of three international symposiums organised by them during last two years, Vikrama Simhapuri University (VSU) has been planning to hold more such events on a grand scale next year in association with universities across the globe.
VSU vice-chancellor, Prof. G. Rajarami Reddy, has revealed this while addressing the valedictory of the three-day international symposium, Environmental pollution, nutrition & genetics, and a special symposium, Cancer biology and therapeutics, held at seminar hall here on Sunday.
He said that a mega event is going to be launched in July next. He asserted that events like these have not only given a global exposu-re to the VSU but also built several long-term friendships with the international scientific community.
Dr. G. Subrahmanyam, director, Narayana Medical College and Hospital, the distinguished guest, affirmed the relevance of the symposiums’ theme of “Nutrition and Health” by drawing scriptural aphorisms at liberty and relating them with the changing lifestyle patterns telling on healthy living of the people today.
He felt that the microenvironment that the womb of the mother provides is like the virgin planet without pollutants and it is the ambitious human activity that drove us to the brink of extinction.
Dr Balwantsinh Chauhan, Roosevelt University, insisted that controlling pollution starts from self-restraint and self-control, it is the larger individual responsibility which leads to community commitment, he said.
Prof. M. Srinivasulu Reddy, convener of the event, expressed thanks to all the organisers for making the event a successful one.
Dr. Riyaz M. Basha, University of Texas, USA, and the overseas organising secretary, gave a brief and comprehensive report.
Earlier, Dr. K. Narasimha Rao, joint secretary of the event, welcomed and introduced the guests while Dr. Y. Sunandamma proposed a vote of thanks.
