Later, Prime Minister Modi interacted with the young scientists for over half an hour. The subjects discussed included research on traditional Indian medicine, progress being made towards finding a cure for sickle cell anaemia using gene therapy, wildlife conservation through gene banks and the 'Make in India' initiative.
