The event saw participation from some of the best schools across the country. It was a unique opportunity for the young minds to take science from the classrooms to the corridors. The theme of the fest was “Sustainable Development”.
At the onset, Principal Dr.Madhav Deo Saraswat welcomed the gathering and urged them to make it a memorable experience, which could be cherished forever. In his inaugural address Dr Saraswat mentioned that the Earth has enough resources for man’s need but not for man’s greed. He drew the attention of the congregation to the fact that resources are being depleted as man is gathering more than he requires.

Ms Niharika Kulshrestha, Faculty of Science gave presentation on ‘Physics at CERN’.
On the second day a ‘Hands on Activity’ was held in the Science Block. A Quiz was conducted in the Assembly Hall, on topics related to the field of Science. The third event of the day centred around the exhibitions put up by the participating schools.
