The Department of Science and Technology through Haryana State

Council for Science & Technology, in its all out efforts to promote and

po pu larize scien ce in the state, is alwa ys invo lved in co nd ucting va riou s

science po pu larization program m es for schoo l and college stud ents. The

aim behind organization of these programmes is to generate scientific

temp er am on g gene ral masses, particularly stud ents.

During this qua rter, a Science Workshop was o rganized at the Saraswatird

Vidya Mandir Senior Seconda ry School, Jagadh ari on 3 Septembe r
