DIMAPUR — The department of School Education, in collaboration with Samagra Shiksha Nagaland, organised the State Level Science Fair 2023 on Tuesday at Government Higher Secondary School, Pfutsero town, which included seminars and exhibitions.
According to a DIPR report, Avelü Rüho, joint secretary of School Education, encouraged students from all sixteen districts participating in the fair to cherish their time in Pfutsero, adding that the event would provide them with a platform to unleash their creativity, showcase innovative ideas, and enhance their understanding of various scientific concepts.
