The retired principal of Hamidia College, Bhopal SK Kulshreshth said that teachers can play an important role in making science popular among ordinary people and for that a mega campaign must be conducted. He was addressing a four-day low budget science experiment workshop at ICUF Ashram, Bhopal.
The workshop is being organised for the teachers from the tribal areas. While addressing the workshop, the secretary of the science centre Sandhya Verma said that it is now time to re-determine the academic syllabuses. Keeping this change in mind, interest must be developed in children so that they can face the difficulties with ease. She also appealed to the teachers to discuss together on this topic.
The professor of MlB College, Bhopal Praveen Tamot said that the education system has failed to make science popular among the students and teachers. This is the reason why efforts must be put to encourage even the science graduates to take interest in it, he added.
Tamot further said that with the help of science, natural resources can be utilized better. This workshop will develop the practical approach among the teachers.
While addressing the workshop, professor of Barkatullah University, Bhopal Vipin Vyas said that children have the tendency to satisfy their curiosity by breaking things and peeking into it. If this tendency is given a right direction then it can be developed into a scientific approach, he added.
In this workshop, 50 science teachers from Chhindwara, Seoni, Dindori, Umaria, Ratlam, Hoshangabad and Mandla took part. The resource persons in the workshop were Manish Yadav from Kanpur, Bl Maliya from Hoshangabad and Hemant Verma from Dewas.
