Vice-chancellor of Rajeev Gandhi Prodhyogiki Vishvavidhyalay, Sunil Kumar Gupta said that science plays an important role in our life. “We have lost and gained many things from invention of science. It has both the positive and negative impacts in our life.”

The sessions ended with the question-answer round. Minister for energy Paras Jain also addressed the programme. 50 models were displayed by college students and professionals at 124 stalls. Handlooms and handicrafts items were also displayed in the science expo, which surprised the visitors.
