In society discrimination on various basis has always been there. It is unfortunate to have the same thing in the science and research field where we work together for the better tomorrow. Even if it is there due to any kind of regionalism, it is not good. I was so happy to learn about ALBA that I simply fall into love with it. This is something which should be there as a normal-norm in scientific society at least. Yes, of course, I believe ALBA shall bring this new light of equality and togetherness in all of us in the coming few years and that is why I want to join ALBA and work with my colleagues for the better tomorrow.
