To encourage students to apply
physics to their own surroundings and develop the critical analysis skills in
them, HMV Collegiate Sr. Sec. School organized National Webinar on ‘Explore
Physics through Real Life Experiences’ under the benign guidance of Principal
Prof. Dr. (Mrs.) Ajay Sareen. The event commenced with traditional lamp
lighting ceremony followed by Gayatri Mantra. Principal Prof. Dr. (Mrs.) Ajay
Sareen accorded formal welcome to the honourable Resource Person Professor H.C.
Verma, Padma Shree Awardee, Ex. Prof of Physics IIT, Kanpur. She also mentioned
that it is quite important for the students to understand the laws and rules
that govern the physical world and they should focus on studying physics on a
deeper level and use the concepts of physics to navigate through everyday life.
She expressed her gratitude to the worthy resource person for giving an insight
into the physics and related concepts and appreciated the effort for organizing
the event. Prof. Dr. H.C Verma laid emphasis on the idea that instead of rote
learning, students should focus on thinking first then understand and learn.
Prof. Verma also gave original and some interesting examples that were
extremely catchy and attracted students’ undivided attention. It is important
to note that Prof. Verma is actively involved in social activities by
establishing initiatives like Shiksha Sopan and project NANI (National
Anveshika Network of India) that encourages school and colleges for
participation in NAEST (National Anveshika Experimental Skills Test). The
students actively participated in the interactive session after the guest
lecture and also learnt a great deal of knowledge and information about
physics. School coordinator Mrs. Meenakshi Sayal gave the vote of thanks. She
expressed immense happiness and contentment for the informative as well as
interactive session which will be useful for the aspiring students. More than
600 students and faculty members from all over India participated in the
webinar. The moderator of the event was Mrs. Jaspreet Kaur.
