100 Tripura students to go to ISRO on exposure visit

Agartala, Mar 19 (UNI) The Tripura government has decided to send at least 100 students from different schools to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for an academic exposure visit to enhance their interest in applied science and space technology.
The officials of Secondary Education said the first batch of 13 students from the schools of South Tripura, including five students from Sabroom sub-division, would join the trip next month, and gradually, in subsequent batches, all others would visit ISRO and interact with the scientists.
“India’s space technology has emerged as a pioneer in the world and Prime Minister Narendra Modi visioned to encourage students to get involved in activities related to space science. We are selecting meritorious students based on some criteria to evoke their interest in basic science,” said officials.
They said to bring the students into scientific innovation and activities, the state government has launched DNA Club to more than 172 schools across Tripura where students have been engaged in experiment learning and creative thinking of applied sciences to make education career-oriented.
This educational ISRO visit is expected to be a transformative experience for the participating students, igniting their passion for science and opening doors to new learning opportunities, officials added.
