OU, celebrating its centenary this year, is hosting the Congress for the sixth time, after the ones in 1937, 1954, 1967, 1979 and 1998, noted its Vice-Chancellor, Prof S Ramachandram.
General President of Indian Science Congress Association (ISCA) Prof Achyuta Samanta said around 25,000 people are expected to attend the event.
