Bal Divas 2006
The Annual function (sixth) was held in three stages. In the first stage, there were competitions on drawing, model making, quiz and singing nationalistic songs. These were held on 7th January at Sopan Vidyalaya, Barasirohi. About 110 students participated in drawing, 20 in Songs and 10 in Model making. Dr Zakir Hoosain, Assistant Professor, Physics Dept, IITK inaugurated the show. Addressing students he recalled how he had struggled during early days as in his village there was no electricity, no good institutions and there was no Shiksha Sopan. But only due to hard work and determination he could overcome all the difficulties. He advised all the children to dream high and work hard.
Dr D P Mishra of Aerospace Engg was present during the Model making where six groups of students prepared working models showing various physical phenomena. These models were made from the scratch and no readymade circuits and gadgets were used. Even the children cut the wooden plates using a saw to make components. Dr Mishra appreciated the talent of these village children and stressed on the need of further nurturing them.
