Science and Technology Minister Dr Jitendra Singh inaugurates centenary celebrations of iconic 'Bose-Einstein' Statistics

Kolkata/Delhi: Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh Wednesday virtually inaugurated the centenary celebrations of the iconic "Bose-Einstein" Statistics postulation at the "S.N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences".

Honouring the contributions of Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose, the Minister for Science and Technology emphasised Bose’s pioneering role in quantum mechanics and highlighted India’s strides in quantum research, which are poised to shape the future of technology and economic growth.

Dr. Jitendra Singh commended Kolkata's S.N. Bose Centre, under the Department of Science and Technology (DST), for hosting a series of international conferences and outreach programs as part of the centenary.

This final conference focuses on Bose Statistics in Condensed Matter Physics, following earlier events on Quantum Information and Quantum Science.

“Bose’s revolutionary contributions to quantum mechanics fundamentally changed our understanding of the physical world and paved the way for numerous scientific breakthroughs,” the Minister remarked, citing Nobel Prizes awarded for discoveries based on Bose’s work.

Nobel laureates and experts from Princeton, Harvard, Oxford, and other prestigious institutions will speak at the conference in S.N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences.

Dr. Jitendra Singh also shed light on the recently launched National Quantum Mission (NQM), which aims to position India at the forefront of quantum technology.

Approved by the Union Cabinet, the mission will advance research and development across critical areas including Quantum Computing, Quantum Communication, and Quantum Materials.

“The National Quantum Mission aligns with Prime Minister Modi’s vision of an ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and a developed India by 2047, enabling breakthroughs that will drive economic growth, innovation, and job creation in a quantum-driven world,” he said.

With four Thematic Hubs, the NQM brings together 43 institutions, including the S.N. Bose Centre, to foster advancements in quantum science.

Dr. Jitendra Singh highlighted how Bose’s legacy continues to inspire technological innovations and will play a central role in India’s “Second Quantum Revolution,” driving the country’s efforts to become a global leader in quantum research and applications.
