Remarks from Guests and Officials
Chief guest Prof. Dr Rameshwor Adhikari said that such programmes help students gain practical knowledge in addition to theoretical learning.
He said, “Programmes of this kind should not remain limited to urban areas only. They also need to be organised in schools and colleges in rural regions. The government should prioritise exhibitions of this kind.
The Ministry of Education should bring special plans in the field of science and technology so that students can gain practical knowledge. Making the future generation competent in science and technology is a need of the present time.”
