Loss Of Face For Osmania University: Tiny Imphal To Hold Indian Science Congress

Hyderabad's loss is Imphal's gain now!! The prestigious Indian Science Congress, which was to be originally held at the Osmania University, would now be held at the Central University in Imphal.

The Indian Science Congress was to be held from January 3 to January 7 at the historic Osmania University, which has just completed 100 years. However, the university expressed its inability to hold the biggest meet of best brains in science and technology citing reasons such as security concerns and student unrest. Now, the conclave will be held in Imphal.

Interestingly, Hyderabad had very recently held two global-level meets - the Global Entrepreneurship Summit and the World Telugu Conference - without any problem. Yet, Osmania University's expression of inability to hold the prestigious meet has raised quite a few eyebrows.
