State-level Science Expo at Government Adarsha Vidyalaya

December 29, 2018

Mysuru: More than 350 Higher Primary and High School students from standard 6 to 10 showcased their models at the State-level Science Exhibition organised jointly by Department of Education, Science and Technology Department, New Delhi, Department of State Education Research and Training, Mysuru District Administration, Zilla Panchayat, District Institutes of Education and Training, on Friday at Government Adarsha Vidyalaya, Police Quarters, near Police Bhavan here.

MLA and former Minister S.A. Ramdas, inaugurating the exhibition organised as part of Inspire Awards, said that parents and even students prefer to either study medicine or engineering, a trend that has continued. However, what the students are not exposed to are the ancient Indian Science, Mathematics, and Medicine.

Some of the greatest minds like Aryabhata, one of the first major Mathematician-Astronomer, Sushruta, ancient Indian Physician, Charaka, one of the first contributors to Ayurveda, Bhaskara, the Mathematician are there as shining examples to whom students should look up to, he said.

The British ruled the country for over 200 years and destroyed and looted the nation, while Germans came and took away nearly seven lakh palm scripts. They also encourage the study of Sanskrit in Germany, whereas in our own country, the demand for the subject is almost nil, he regretted.

In fact the Vedic Science laid the foundation for Science, for the whole world to follow. Prime Minister Narendra Modi keeping this in mind has encouraged the students to take up science with a renewed vigour and these Inspire Awards are a part of that movement, he said.
