Zilla Parishad Schools in Maharashtra Put Up ‘Science Walls’ To Inculcate Scientific Temper In Children – Education News
In order to inculcate scientific temper in children, “science walls” have been put up in over 200 Zilla Parishad schools in Maharashtra’s Solapur district, a district official said on Wednesday. Photographs of famous scientists and inventors have been hung on these walls and their birth anniversaries are being celebrated, he said.
“The objective of the project is to inculcate scientific temper in children at an early age so that they develop a liking and interest in science,” said Manoj Raut, block development officer of Karmala tehsil, who is the brain behind the project. The initiative covers students from Classes 1 to 7. Solapur Zilla Parishad CEO Dilip Swami had started a “clean school, beautiful school” project in the district and as a part of the initiative, he introduced “science walls” in 227 schools in Karmala tehsil, the official said.
Elaborating on the initiative, Raut said that they selected 28 scientists who were a part of the school syllabus and decided to celebrate their birth anniversaries on the lines of celebrations held for historical figures and freedom fighters. “We asked 227 schools in Karmala tehsil to make science walls in their school premises with photos of these curated scientists and mention their inventions through graphics and writings,” the official said.
