Inculcating research culture among students from a young age not only transforms the individual student to become a better human being but also helps build a better society, said Principal Secretary (Education) Burra Venkatesham on Tuesday.
“Thinking does not cost anything; we do what we think; intuitiveness drives human race towards excellence,” he said, addressing young students, at the inaugural of the State-level presentation and selection of student study projects.
Jignasa, an initiative of the Commissionerate of Collegiate Education sponsored by the Centre’s Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA), aims to impart scientific attitude among students. Started in 2016-17, the programme has been recognising the best study projects and presentations.
