According to the United Nations, science is essential to understanding our world and building a better future for all people.

The International Week of Science and Peace was first observed during 1986 as part of the observance of the International Year of Peace.

Based on the success of the 1986 observance, the organisers continued their efforts in successive years. In recognition of the value of the annual observance, the General Assembly adopted resolution 43/61 in December 1988, which proclaims the "International Week of Science and Peace", to take place each year during the week in which 11 November falls.

"The annual observance of the International Week of Science and Peace is making an important contribution to the promotion of peace. The Week encourages greater academic exchanges on a subject of universal importance while also generating greater awareness of the relationship of science and peace among the general public," according to the UN.

While I appreciate the sentiment, we need more investment in basic research infrastructure and better funding for young scientists. Many talented researchers still go abroad due to limited opportunities here.

As someone working in tech, I've seen how Indian talent is valued globally. But we need to focus on making science education accessible in rural areas too. Every child deserves the opportunity to become a scientist!
