The State Council of Science, Technology, and Environment, Meghalaya (SCSTE) concluded its State-Level Eco Club Competition, engaging 31 schools and over 180 students from rural areas.
Held from November 7to 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.
This initiative reflects SCSTE’s commitment to fostering a scientific mindset and sustainable growth in Meghalaya’s rural communities.
The event concluded with certificate distributions and a special address by Wandell Passah, retired professor from St. Edmund’s College, Shillong.
Stating that it was committed to rural education and sustainable development, SCSTE Meghalaya is striving to cultivate a new generation of students equipped with scientific knowledge, environmental awareness, and the skills needed to contribute to sustainable development.
By engaging rural students in innovative and practical science activities, SCSTE aims to inspire young minds to think critically about environmental conservation and the importance of science and technology in everyday life.
