Speaking on the occasion, Ms. Ragini Sharma, Principal, Ujjval World School said, “Science is hands-on by nature, and there is no doubt that hands-on experiences facilitate the learning process. Our Gyan Vigyan provided a mechanism for the students with an intense interest in science to demonstrate their knowledge and talent on a larger platform. We are thrilled by the remarkable projects displayed by the children, which have been a reflection of the immense potential that they harbour for their future endeavors.”
