Nobel laureate Kailash Satyarthi to deliver centenary lecture at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad

The lecture will be held at 11 am at the Penman Auditorium of the institute and is expected to bring together faculty members, researchers, students and staff.

According to the institute, the lecture series has been instituted through an endowment by distinguished alumnus Mihir Sinha of the 1966 batch of Petroleum Engineering in memory of his parents, Abanish Chandra Sinha and Binapani Sinha.

The series aims to provide an intellectual platform where leading thinkers, scholars and global changemakers can engage with the academic community on issues linking science, technology and the humanities.

Satyarthi, globally known for his work on children’s rights, access to education and the fight against child labour, is expected to share insights from his decades-long humanitarian efforts during the lecture.

The visit will also mark the first time that the institute hosts a Nobel laureate on its campus.
