The SOA University here will organise the National Children’s Science Congress (NCSC) from December 27 to 31.
Around 800 children in the age group of 10 to 17 years, both from the formal school system as well as from those who are out of school or differently able, will be attending the event, catalysed and supported by the National Council for Science and Technology Communication (NCSTC), said Vice-Chancellor SOA Prof Amit Banerjee.
This will be the 26th edition of the NCSC. Children from the ASEAN and Gulf countries are also likely to attend.
The newly-designed logo for the NCSC and the website were also unveiled. The focal theme for this year’s NCSC will be “Science, Technology and Innovation for a Clean, Green and Healthy Nation.”
The children will present their research findings. Chairman of the National Academic Committee (NAC) for NCSC Dr TP Raghunath, senior member of NAC Dr Lalit Sharma, SOA director Dr Manas K Mallick, Dean (Students Welfare), SOA Dr Jyoti Ranjan Das and chief coordinator for the event Dr Anurag Satpathy were present.
