Second edition of International Science Film Festival begins in Thrissur

The goal of science is not excessive production or consumption but creating conditions for everyone to live happily, said eminent scientist M.P. Parameswaran. He was inaugurating the second edition of the International Science Film Festival via videoconference.

Prince, who announced that next year’s festival will feature 100 science films from Thrissur itself. “Students and teachers will soon receive training to make this possible,” he said.

Festival director K.P. Ravi Prakash, agriculture scientist Indira Devi and others spoke.
