# 10:54 AM: Our scientific achievements need to be communicated to society.
On his part, General President of the Indian Science Congress, Dr. Achyuta Samanta said, "The focal theme- Reaching the Unreached through Science and Technology- definitely justified this session being held in the North east which coincidentally has remained the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's thrust area".
