New Delhi: President Droupadi Murmu on Thursday said that spiritualism and science must work in tandem at educational institutions in the country, which she said can do miracles. “My belief is that if the knowledge of science is combined with the pursuit of spirituality, it can do miracles. Spiritualism and science must work in tandem,” President Murmu said while addressing the 25th International Engineering and Technology Fair.
The fair was organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. The President said that we should strive to use technology for social change. “Any technology that confines itself to a section of people would gradually wither away. On the other hand, the technologies that change the lives of ordinary people in a positive manner get traction,” she said.
