SHILLONG, Nov 11: A total of 31 schools and over 180 students participated in the State-Level Eco Club Competition of the State Council of Science, Technology, and Environment (SCSTE), Meghalaya. Held from November 7 to 9, the programme featured three competitions — an OMR-based written exam, a tinkering science project, and a scavenger hunt in Nongkrem.
Top-performing ‘Eco Clubs’ will soon receive awards, including educational resources such as school libraries, tinkering labs, hydroponic units, rainwater harvesting systems, clean drinking water facilities, and more. With this the SCSTE aims to foster a scientific mindset and sustainable growth in Meghalaya’s rural communities. The event concluded with certificate distributions and a special address by retired professor from St. Edmund’s College, Shillong, W Passah.
By engaging rural students in innovative and practical science activities, SCSTE seeks to inspire young minds to think critically about environmental conservation and the importance of science and technology in everyday life.
