Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Nobel laureate Prof. Takaaki Kajita speaking during the inaugural of the Children Science Congress in Tirupati on Wednesday.
A huge monetary bonanza awaits the first Nobel laureate from the State. Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, during the inaugural ceremony of the Children Science Congress at Sri Padmavati Mahila Viswa Vidyalayam (SPMVV), announced a cash prize of Rs.100 crore for the young scientist (or any other) who would win the prize.
Flanked by Nobel laureate and Director of the Institute for Cosmic Ray Research at the University of Tokyo, Prof. Takaaki Kajita, Mr. Naidu urged the students to pursue science with emphasis on research and innovation. “We expect to see several leading scientists and Nobel prize winners emerge from this lot. As youngsters are more adaptive to technology, we hope that the existing demographic dividend will provide several innovative ideas,” he told the crowd of eager students. In a friendly banter, he appealed to Prof. Kajita to reveal a few tips and tricks for securing a Nobel Prize, for which the latter’s reply was ‘Hard Work’. Mr. Naidu conjoined the ‘Hard Work’ mantra with ‘Enjoying Work and Life’.
