Karwar: “Instead of putting pressure on children to score more marks, they should be encouraged to take active part in activities which bolster their practical knowledge,” stated Anil Pawar, Retired director of Public Instruction Department, Goa.

He was speaking after inaugurating a six-day camp to teach students about science models organized at District Science Centre, in Karwar on 17th May, Wednesday.

He said that students learn better by experience and practically rather than reading books. The camps provide the required knowledge to students. Hence students should take part in these camps in large numbers.

Principal of Bapuji Arts & Commerce College Mahesh Golikatte said students can achieve success if they do their work with dedication, and advised students attending the camp to listen carefully to what the resource persons tell them in the camp.
