Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: "Through the biographies of many great scientists, we can learn that these scientists have been experimenting since their student days. Initially, their experiments backfired, but after tireless efforts, they achieved success. Their research has made our lives happier today. So, it's time for students to develop a scientific outlook, ” said Deelip Swami, the District Collector.
He was speaking at the inaugural of the two-day district-level Inspire Award exhibition jointly organised by the Department of Science and Technology (Government of India), Department of School Education and Sports (State Government), State Institute of Science Education (Nagpur), Secondary Education Department of Zilla Parishad and Dr I B Pathak Mahila College at Tapadiya Natyamandir on Thursday.

Deelip Swami said that students participating in such exhibitions are now working in high positions in various research institutions.
He said that all students participating in this exhibition are also getting a great opportunity to become scientists on this occasion. “Even today, a large amount of superstition is being spread through various social media. It is very important for us to overcome this and have a scientific outlook. This is a very important step in this regard,” he added.
Ashwini Lathkar said, "Students should develop a scientific outlook through experimentation. If you have a question in your mind, science gives the correct answer.”
