Raman Memorial Lecture on `Science, and shaping India's food and livelihood security systems' organised here jointly by the Swadeshi Science Movement and the Central Tuber Crops Research Institute (CTCRI). ``This is why I have been pleading for a broad-based National Commission on Genetic Modification for Food Security with representation from various fora,'' he said.
