The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is going to organise a ‘Young Scientist Programme’ from May 11 to 22. Students studying in Class IX will be able to participate in the programme, for which the ISRO will select three students from each state and Union Territory.
During the programme, students will be able to interact with scientists who will share their experiences in their respective fields. Students will also visit laboratories. Practical and feedback session for students will also be arranged.
The head of a government school from the district said they had sent applications of two students and were hopeful that one of them would be selected.
