The Commemorative Postage Stamp released to mark this milestone depicts the spirit of the Centenary Session of
the Indian Science Congress. A child, tender, mouldable & future of India,
is observing a flower through a Magnifying Glass and DNA Structure in

The Indian Science Congress
Association (ISCA) owes its origin to the foresight
and initiative of two British Chemists, namely, Professor J.
L. Simonsen and Professor P. S. MacMohan. The Association was formed with the objective to advance
and promote the cause of science in India, to hold an annual congress at a suitable place in India, to publish such proceedings,
journals, transactions and other publications as may be considered
desirable.
The centenary session of the Indian Science Congress is scheduled to be
held from 3-7 January, 2013 at Kolkata. The theme for the session was “Science for shaping the future of
India“.
