“This mobile science lab will expose students to emerging technologies, encourage their creativity, and help them unlock their innovative potential,” the Minister said. He added that gaining knowledge of these advanced technologies will play a key role in shaping the students’ futures.
Minister Sridhar Babu also urged District Collectors, senior officials, and District Education Officers (DEOs) to ensure the lab reaches as many students as possible and successfully fosters their enthusiasm for technology.
