Gupta said, “Science is an integrated technology field and its progress is vertical. The base is laid right from the level of education achieved in elementary school. “We should aspire to achieve a level of excellence by acquiring knowledge and contributing to the use of the tools at our disposal to discover and invent creative projects.” Fadnavis said, “Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari has taken this initiative with the intention of generating scientific curiosity among students and promoting their performance. Witnessing the influence of students ‘ creativity through models shows that they are creating their own ideas. “On that day, Rathod encouraged students to take part in the exhibition in large numbers. He said the exhibition is a great medium for access to the scientific aptitude of students. Balpande noted that the theme of this show is the dream of the former President of India, APJ Abdul Kalam.
