“Science Through Colours”

 
 
 

I was at the Prize giving ceremony for the Science through Colours 2013 to reward the winners of the second  Edition of the on-spot drawing and painting contest targeted at Form I, II and III students. The Project Competition is a laudable initiative of the Rajiv Gandhi Science Centre in collaboration with the Indian High Commission and the Indira Gandhi Cultural Centre. The Theme for this year’s edition of Science Through Colours is “Mathematics of Planet Earth 2013”.I would like to congratulate the winners for their success, and my congratulations also go to all the other participants in the competition and wish them, best of luck next time.  I also wish to thank the members of the jury who, I am sure must have had a difficult task to identify the winners.
