Navjot Kaur of Class XI (non-medical) won the third position in ‘Education, Games and Mathematical’ model. Principal Dr Kiranjeet Randhawa congratulated the winners and other participants.

Randhawa said: “The education in today’s scenario aims at the holistic development of the children. The goal of harmonious development is achievable only with pragmatic approach towards education. This approach imparts learning by doing and experiencing new things.”

“Exhibitions, seminars, projects, presentations are the medium of wholesome development of the students in schools and colleges. Educational institutions organise such exhibitions and seminars to enhance the knowledge of students and make learning a fun and help the teachers to teach and enlighten the students to learn new things easily and in a better way,” added the principal.

Randhawa said: “We are living in a developing country and science has a vital role to play in the development of any country or the world as a whole. It is the science that has helped us to reach the moon, measure the depth of the sea and revealed many secrets of the living and non-living things.”

The principal apprised the students of that our planet ‘Earth’ was facing lots of challenges that could only be dealt with the interference of a scientific approach. Problems like global warming, pollution, plastic, fuel consumption, water wastage and other areas like development in the field of modes of communication, transportation, medicine etc. all need a scientific mind.
