Bengaluru: A two-day mega educational expo ‘Fikr-e-Mustaqbil’ was inaugurated by Chandrayan team of scientists from Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) here Saturday.
The event is organised by Falcon Group of Institutions, Bengaluru in the vast Quddus Saheb Eidgah Maidan.
Apart from the ISRO team comprising Narsimhan, Balaji and Shivanna, IAS Coach Sameer Siddiqi joined the inaugural programme. Hundreds of students from various institutions participated in the expo with their models.
The managing director of Falcon Group Abdus Subhan explained the tremendous outcome of humble efforts from the institution. Students from socially and economically backward sections have become doctors and engineers with a little push. Children of auto drivers, carpenters, farm labourers, Imam and Muazzins and some orphans too completed professional courses from reputed institutions purely on merit basis. Photographs of such little stars were displayed in the expo.
Different models of various branches of pure sciences and history were beautifully displayed in separate panels. Inventions of 100 Muslim scientists, 111 discoveries were also exhibited. A history panel depicted the contributions of prominent 75 Muslim freedom fighters.
In a parallel programme, Islamic Quiz competitions were conducted for secondary school students and the winners were awarded with laptops, tabs and other prizes and certificates.
A large number of visitors, including students, parents and dignitaries were highly impressed by the expo. The concluding programme will be held on Sunday.
