Diglipur, Sept. 30: To provide a Platform for School Students to showcase their talent in the field of Science Innovation, “Rashtriya Avishkar Abhiyan” has been launched by the Samagra Shiksha across the country. In the Islands too, the programme is being implemented by the Directorate of Education, covering all the Blocks and Clusters of Schools from Diglipur to the Southernmost place Campbell Bay.
