The science book reading competition started for the first time at the National Museum of Science and Technology. Fifty students from three reputed schools of the capital participated in the book reading competition. The schools are Milestone School and College, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Government Girls’ High School and Mission International School and College respectively.
Educational materials were given as souvenirs by the Museum of Science for the students participating in the competition. Mobile science exhibitions, science lectures and quiz competitions are also organized for the students.
In this regard, Director General of the National Museum of Science and Technology Mohammad Munir Chowdhury said, “Reading books is getting lost due to internet addiction. Books pave the way for acquiring knowledge and research. Students are lagging behind in talent due to lack of interest in reading books and writing power and creativity are now on the verge of extinction. Through this competition, students will become knowledge thirsty and book lovers and will build Bangladesh in future. ” AKM Lutfur Rahman Siddique, Senior Curator and Director (Extra responsibility) of the National Museum of Science and Technology delivered a welcome address on the occasion.
