Abstract:
"I am indeed delighted to participate in the inauguration of Indo-US Nanotechnology Conclave organized
by the Department of Science and Technology in partnership with Confederation of Indian Industry (CII)
and Indo-US Science and Technology Forum. I am also very happy to see that a pioneer in nano science
Prof. CNR Rao has given the key note address for this Indo-US conclave and I find that this Conclave is
being organized with the participation of all the stake holders from the researchers to the users of nano-
