I proceeded to the launching of a ‘Science Fun Day’
at CEDEM (CENTRE D'EDUCATION ET DE
DEVELOPPEMENT POUR LES ENFANTS MAURICIENS) organised by the Rajiv
Gandhi Science Centre in collaboration with my ministry. The RGSC team is there
to impart scientific knowledge to our young people through a number of
activities which I have no doubt the young children of CEDEM will benefit. They
will have lots of fun activities that have been brought up for them .My sincere
thanks go to Officers of the CEDEM and the Rajiv Gandhi Science Centre for
organising today’s event. I am convinced that today’s activity will have a
long lasting impact on them and specially the kids so that when they are back
in their routine life, they will play and investigate more on issues related to
science.
