While I appreciate the effort, I wish they had included more rural schools. Often these opportunities are limited to urban elite schools. The real scientific talent lies in our villages too!

The thematic areas are so relevant - natural farming, disaster management, waste management. These are exactly what our youth should be focusing on. Hope they come up with innovative solutions!
