OU Vice-Chancellor Prof S Ramachandram today received a communication from the Indian Science Congress Association (ISCA) General President Achyuta Samanta in this regard.
In the communication, the association informed the university about its selection to host the 105th conference of the Indian Science Congress, an OU release said here.
