Bangladeshi Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, founder of micro-financing organisation Grameen Bank, today exhorted the scientists to come up with exact solutions for problems.
Delivering a lecture at the Indian Science Congress (ISC), Yunus said the scientific community can make the Health care services "costless" with the use of technology.
"Health care is the best medium to offer your services. Make it costless with the use of technology. Don't give people what they have, give what fits them well... Exactly in the way solutions are required," Yunus said.
He also appealed to the scientists to come up with solutions in the field of energy conservation.
Referring to microfinancing scam by a company in Andhra Pradesh, the nobel laureate, who is known for his work in the microfinancing sector, said few people have brought bad name to microfinancing and such instances are not good examples.
"Good microfinancing does not exploit people," he said.
Yunus is also here to inaugurate a Social Business Centre in the Andhra University.
