Five of the visiting young scientists spoke on the importance of protecting the environment at a gathering in the library. The meeting was presided over by District Library Officer A.P. Sivakumar, while Readers’ Forum Advisor S. Arunachalam welcomed the visitors.
Retired ISRO scientists N. Sivasubramanian and Edwin R. Browne interacted with the students.
The meeting was organised by the Tiruchi and Madurai chapters of The Institution of Engineers (India) in association with the District Central Library’s Readers’ Forum.
