Berhampur: The students of upper primary schools in Kandhamal's Phiringia block were in for a pleasant surprise when the district collector donned the hat of a teacher on Saturday.
Ved Bhusan was on inspection duty at the government high school when he came to know that the block level science seminar, on "Quantum age begins: possibilities and challenges", was being conducted and he decided to speak to the students about the topic for an hour. "During his conversation with the students, he spoke about quantum technology and how it is applied in different disciplines, ongoing research work on quantum technology and advancement of India in the field of quantum mechanics, among others," Rajesh Kumar Swain, district education officer who accompanied the collector, said.
The collector also asked the teachers to teach students in simple and narrative methods so that they can understand easily.
