“Youth should develop interdisciplinary interests, broaden their reading and accumulate knowledge from various fields. They need to use such knowledge for all-round development of the society,” M.Y. Karidurganavar, retired chemistry professor at Karnatak University, Dharwad, said in Bagalkot on Tuesday.

“Higher education institutions should create an environment where knowledge is utilised for the development of the society by fostering scientific thinking, a research-oriented mindset, and a socially conscious outlook among students,” the professor said.

He was speaking after inaugurating a one-day national seminar titled “Recent Advances in Interdisciplinary Sciences for a Sustainable Future”, organised by BVV Sangha’s Basaveshwar Science College. The event was organised by its Internal Quality Assurance Cell at the BVVS Sajjalashree Nursing College auditorium.
