Bokaro (Khaber aajtak) : 21st March 2024: ESL Steel Limited, a Vedanta Group Company and a leading integrated steel producer in India, continues its unwavering commitment to societal and community development. ESL Steel Limited hence prioritizes the well-being of the communities where it is present and will continue to do so in future.
To help children in their all-round personality development, inculcate a scientific temper and increase creativity, especially in those enrolled in various schools nearby and specifically those who are undergoing ESL Steel Limited’s educational interventionist programmes like Project Prerna and AAS Vidyalaya, ESL Steel Limited organised an Inter-School Science Exhibition at SMJ +2 High School, Bijulia.
It is often said that a theory is not easy to remember till it is practically implemented. It has been seen many times that students learn more in one single practical class in a laboratory than what they learn in theoretical classes for weeks. Maybe this was also the reason to organise this very successful Science Exhibition which saw a footfall of over 200.
Apart from students enrolled in ESL Steel Limited’s educational interventionist initiatives like Vedanta AAS Vidyalaya and Project Prerna’s – Drawing centres in Ansari Tola and Chandaha & Tutorial Centres in Kumartand and Mahata Tola; students from SMJ +2 High School, Bijulia; UMS Dhandebar; UMS Budhibinor; UMS Siyaljori; UMS (Urdu) Chandaha; UMS Tetulia; MS Yogidih; PSM Siyaljori also participated and made the initiative a highly successful event.
14 teams participated in 2 groups (Senior & Junior) at the Event. A very distinguished Jury comprising Mr. Shaibal Gupta, Science Teacher at Chinmaya School, Bokaro; Mr. Indrajeet Bauri, Prerna Teacher, SSDF; and Mr Rohit Kumar, Science Teacher at SMJ +2 High School, Bijulia adjudicated that the 1st Prize in the Seniors Category was won by SMJ +2 High School while in the Juniors it was won by AAS Vidyalaya (Junior); 2nd Prize for the Seniors was won by AAS Vidyalaya (Senior) and in the Juniors was won by PSM Siyaljori while the 3rd Prize was won by Alkusa Prerna Centre in Seniors and Bhagaband Tutorial Mahata Tola in the junior category.
The children who were onlookers as well as those who were participating had a gala time while they were also motivated to take up scientific pursuits in their lives. Practical application of scientific theories would help them both – in their studies as well as in their overall personality development.
Various dignitaries visited the programme venue to cheer and bolster the confidence of the participating students. These included the Chief Guest, Shri Rakesh Kumar Mishra, Deputy Head, CSR Department, ESL Steel Limited; Shri Pradeep Turi, Mukhiya Madhuniya Panchayat; Shri. Shristi Dhar Rajwar, Bis Sutriye Prakhand Adhyaksha, Chandankiyari; Shri Santu Roy, Kishan Yuva Morcha Upadhyaksh; Shri Islam Ansari – JMM Leader and Shri Ajay Tiwari, Ward Member, Belunja Panchayat.
