GULBARGA, NOV. 16. A State-level science fair will be held in Shahabaz English Medium School here for four days from November 21. The city is hosting the fair for the first time. The Deputy Commissioner, Anjum Parvez, who chaired a preparatory meeting with officials of the District Science Centre, said over 400 children and 200 teachers from 32 educational districts would participate in the event. Six science models selected in each district-level fair would be displayed and a panel of judges would select 40 prize-winning models in different categories. The participating teachers would display a model each. He said the prize-winners would participate in the South India-level science fair.
