Motivational lectures in remote schools

19th May 2010
Prof. Arvind A. Natu delivered a lecture on ' Opportunities in Pure sciences' on 17th of April 2010. On that day I raised the issue of setting up of higher educational institute in Tinsukia and adjoining areas. I got support from people who came to attend the lecture cum interactive session. After that I along with Mukut visited different places of Tinsukia district to make people aware of our move and motivate people toward science education.
In one of the occassion on 19th May 2010, we were invited by several social organisations and Managing committees of schools in the Bargaon-Barekuri area for delivering motivational lecture towards Science education and to make students, people aware of the opportunities in the area of local resources (e.g medicinal plants, enrich biodiversity etc) and the down stream plastic industry which is the outcome of the gas cracker project. We visited two schools in two interior villages and gave motivational talk for school students in the Barekuri and Bargaon area. [Bargaon High School (Student strength 600-700, covers 21 villages], Barekuri High school (300-400 students)]. In the interactive session with students and teacher, many questions were asked starting from Modern medicine to polymer.
In these events also we raised the issue of necessity of Higher Science and Technology institute in the Tinsukia district. Wherever we are going we are getting full support from mass in this issue.
