Focus on science, technology: Warangal Rural ZP chief Jyothi
Science and technology play a vital role in day to day life, Warangal Rural Zilla Parishad Chairperson Gandra Jyothi said.
Narsampet (Warangal Rural): Science and technology play a vital role in day to day life, Warangal Rural Zilla Parishad Chairperson Gandra Jyothi said. Speaking at the 47th Jawaharlal Nehru District Level Science, Mathematics and Environmental Exhibition 2019, held at Abdul Kalam Pranganam, Siddartha High school, at Chennaraopet on Tuesday, she said students must draw inspiration from towering personalities like great scientist and former President of India, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, who had designed missiles of great precision to protect the country from enemies.
She emphasised the need for being self-sufficient and strong in the field of science and technology to ensure the growth of the country on par with the global standards. She also recalled the initiatives of the first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, who played a key role in the development of agricultural sector.
Narsampet MLA Peddi Sudershan Reddy, who expressed happiness over organising the science exhibition in his constituency, advised the students to utilise the science exhibition as a platform to project their innovations. Terming students as future scientists, he urged the teachers to hone the skills of children right from the tender age.
DEO Warangal Rural D Vaasanthi told the students to work hard to earn recognition to their exhibits so that they would be shortlisted for State-level and ultimately for the national-level. She also emphasised the role of teachers in the development of the students. "We are trying to train the children in sports in addition to the academics so that they would acquire multidimensional skills," she said.
She commended the students of ZPHS Orugonda, who were selected for the south India science exhibition. Government Degree College Narsampet Principal Dr Chandramouli, Kakatiya University Executive Council member Dr Madan Kumar and District Science Officer Dr K Srinivas were among others, who spoke.
