Patna, (Bihar Times): Former President, Dr A P J Abdul Kalam, is likely to address the inaugural Aryabhatt Popular Science Lecture during his two-day visit to the state on February 8 and 9. The science and technology department of the state government had already sent an invitation to him in this regard.

Last week chief minister Nitish Kumar called on Kalam in Delhi and invited him to the proposed Nalanda International University, which is his brainchild. He is supposed to hold high-level meeting in Patna in this regard.

Apart from Kalam several other reputed scientists such as Dr S E Husnain, former Director of the Centre For DNA Finger Printing, Sunita Narayan, Environmentalists, Dr Lalji Singh, Director of the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology and Prof Anil Gupta of the IIM, Ahmadabad, will deliver lecture.
