Executive Summary :

The project aims to create awareness among government schools students in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, and organize an innovation competition. It will also organize hands-on experiment sessions and make Bihar's government schools aware of central government schemes for school students. The project will focus on SC students in aspiration districts of Bihar, focusing on science communication workshops, science innovation writing competitions, and hands-on experimentation sessions. The project will have a total duration of 6 months, with a total cost of $336,4462 recurring and $1,366,462 non-recurring capital costs. The project will also involve an exhibition of science innovations, interaction with experts from the field of science and technology, science competitions, debate competitions, and exhibitions of the government's science schemes. The project will be conducted in English and Hindi, with a total cost of $6 months. The project will be funded by the National Science Congress (NSCTC) and will be carried out in six months. Modern Bihar has an inadequate educational infrastructure, leading to a mismatch between demand and supply. This has led to a migration of students from the state, with 56.8% of students not being aware of basic science experiments. To address this issue, the project will organize science camps for students aged 6 to 11 in Muzzafar Nagar, targeting both direct and indirect beneficiaries. The project will involve a team of experts, including a survey principal investigator, project assistant, field worker, surveyor, finance officer, report preparation field worker, and monitoring principal investigator. The project will involve a clear description of roles and responsibilities, as well as a clear description of manpower details. In conclusion, the project aims to create awareness among government schools students in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, and make them aware of central government schemes and science activities.
