Thiruvananthapuram, Nov 10 Keralam Chief Minister V D Satheesan on Tuesday stressed the need to harness scientific progress for peace, equity and sustainable development, while highlighting the importance of scientific temper and a knowledge-based economy.
In a post on X on the occasion of World Science Day for Peace and Development, Satheesan said true scientific progress should be measured by its ability to uplift humanity and promote global harmony.
With artificial intelligence and advanced robotics increasingly becoming part of everyday life, innovation must remain focused on serving peace, equity and sustainable development, he said.
Science is one of the most powerful tools to bridge societal divides, address complex challenges and build a more inclusive future, the chief minister said.
