Event Description

Earth is the only known planet that nurtures life through its extraordinary ecosystem – Nature. Among all living beings, humans stand out for their creativity and ability to imagine and shape the future. A truly meaningful life aligns with the goal of enriching and sustaining Nature, and science offers a powerful way to pursue this. However, this journey calls for ethics, physical and mental strength, environmental sensitivity, and foresight. In this talk, Prof. Verma will share his reflections and experiences from walking this path of harmony between science, ethics, and the natural world.

This lecture is a part of Azim Premji University’s Public Lecture Series.
