On November 29, 2023,
Capuchin Krishik Seva Kendra, with the support of the Volkart
Foundation Indian Trust, and Government Higher Primary School Nada,
organized a science model exhibition at Nada. 30 government schools
participated in the program and showcased 44 science models. Fr.
Vinod Mascarenhas, in his introductory speech, appreciated the
children and teachers for participating in the event and said that
the Indian constitution has given equal rights and opportunities to
all its citizens to live in freedom and think rationally without any
spiritual bias. As students, we should always think rationally, ask
questions to soothe our own thirst for knowledge, and always live
like scientists in all aspects. The supreme duty of the teachers in
schools should be to nurture the children at a very young age to
become rational and creative and to acquire problem-solving skills
in order to become dynamic citizens.
Ms. Manjula, the President of Nada Gram Panchayath, presided and
inaugurated the program. Ms. Chethanakshi and Mr. Siddhalingayya
Swamy, ECOs of Block Education Office Belthangady, and Mr.

Education Office Belthangady, and Mr. Radhakrishna, Head Master,
Government High School Koyyur, were the judges for the event. Three
schools were selected as the winners for their creative thinking and
