Indian President Pratibha Patil today visited the prestigious France-based European Organisation for Nuclear Research, commonly known as CERN, where she patted Indian scientists for their contributions to cutting edge research work.
Patil, who is on a state visit to Switzerland, drove to CERN that is situated just minutes away from the Swiss border. An inquisitive Patil, who was left mesmerized by the centre known for its cutting edge research work in physics, left CERN’s Director General Rolf-Dieter Heuer pondering for answers on many occasions.
Patil took a round of the centre and went 70 metres underground to get a first-hand look at the 27-km long tunnel, where the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment was conducted recently.
