GUMLA: A science exhibition was organized by DAV School here in which 65 models on various topics, including space science, power generation and preservation of water, were presented by students of Classes VII to X.
The most attractive and innovative model was on space application in which students Ayush Amber, Vivek Kumar and Nikhil used a laptop to explain how an astronaut could be controlled from the earth's surface."They bagged the first prize," said physics teacher Robin Kumar Adhikari.

It was prepared by third prize winners Sonam Kumari and Rashmi Gupta, while the model on rain water harvesting by Boby Anish and Ashish won the second prize.
The jury included Manoj Kumar of the physics department of Kartik Oraon College Gumla and Amitabh Tiwari and D K Singh, teachers of chemistry and biology in DAV School.
