He also told the story of Uddhab Bharali, an Indian inventor from the Lakhimpur district of Assam who is credited with about 118 innovations and how he contributed in changing the lives of common man with his inventions. “You may go for rocket science and contribute in that area, but, try to go for the kind of science that changes the life of millions of people” he added.
