In order to popularise science from the very early stage, the Vikram Sarabhai Science Foundation had conducted an online talent hunt nationwide. 4 students of DAV Public School, Chandrasekharpur, have been enlisted in the 100 students' elite group and invited to participate at the boot camp to be held in Kochi recently.
Among the four budding scientists, Ruhan Mohanty of class 4 topped in the basic category nationally. Similarly, Maanav Prusty of Class-III, Anshuprit Dutta of Class-VII and Nabendu Kumar Mohakud of Class-VIII have been selected for the prestigious camp and would get an opportunity to interact with the eminent scientists of the nation.
The test was conducted online in three groups, basic, junior and senior and in two phases where lakhs of students around the nation appeared. School Principal Dr KC Satapathy congratulated the achievers and their mentors and wished for the next move.
