The annual Bal Vaigyanik Pradarshini was organized at Government Senior Secondary School, Delanipur, drawing enthusiastic participation from students who presented their creativity and innovation through science, mathematics, and arts exhibits. The 2025 edition was held under the banner of “STEM for Viksit and Atmanirbhar Bharat,” focusing on the role of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in building a self-reliant and developed India.
The event was inaugurated by the principal of GRBV, Sri Vijaya Puram, in the presence of distinguished guests including Padmashri awardee Naresh Chander Lal, the principal of GSSS Haddo (Telugu Medium), and the ward councillor of Ward No. 3 of SVPMC, who also serves as a School Management and Development Committee member. Their participation underlined the importance of community involvement in promoting education and scientific curiosity among students.
The exhibition featured more than 50 models prepared by the students of GSS Delanipur. These models reflected the depth of their innovative thinking, ranging from applications of clean energy to water conservation methods, sustainable agriculture practices, and creative mathematical problem-solving tools. The diversity of the exhibits showcased the potential of young learners to conceptualize solutions for real-world challenges.
Students demonstrated working models in areas such as robotics, renewable energy, and environmental conservation, underscoring the relevance of STEM disciplines in addressing global and local issues. The fair provided them not only with an opportunity to apply classroom knowledge but also to develop problem-solving skills, teamwork, and public presentation abilities. Teachers played a guiding role in helping students refine their ideas and translate them into functional exhibits, ensuring that creativity was matched with technical understanding.
The theme of “STEM for Viksit and Atmanirbhar Bharat” aligned with the national vision of building a self-reliant India. By showcasing projects that emphasized sustainable practices and innovative technologies, the exhibition highlighted the role of education in preparing the next generation to meet future challenges. For example, exhibits on clean water harvesting and eco-friendly farming practices reflected the importance of sustainability, while models on robotics and automation pointed towards a technologically advanced future.
The presence of community leaders and distinguished guests lent weight to the event, as they encouraged students to continue their pursuit of knowledge and innovation. Their observations emphasized how education and science should be linked with larger social goals, such as cleanliness drives, environmental preservation, and sustainable lifestyles. The encouragement received by the participants added to the overall spirit of the exhibition, motivating students to think beyond textbooks.
Such exhibitions are regarded as crucial for nurturing scientific temperament among young learners, especially in regions like the Andaman and Nicobar Islands where opportunities for exposure to large-scale science fairs may be limited. Events like the Bal Vaigyanik Pradarshini serve as stepping stones for students to participate in district, state, and national-level competitions, widening their horizons and giving them platforms to showcase their skills.
The overwhelming response to the exhibition demonstrated that schools can act as incubators of innovation when students are given the space to explore ideas freely. Parents, teachers, and peers attending the event also acknowledged the importance of fostering creativity at an early stage, as it lays the foundation for developing problem solvers and leaders of tomorrow.
By successfully organizing the exhibition with active participation, GSS Delanipur reinforced the role of educational institutions in cultivating innovation. The event concluded with optimism that such platforms would continue to inspire students, equipping them with the confidence and knowledge needed to contribute to the larger vision of a developed and self-reliant India.
