The fair is a wonderful opportunity to encourage young people to practice knowledge and develop their innovative abilities. Keeping the young society away from all kinds of social crimes including obscenity, drug addiction, mobile phone addiction and keeping them engaged in the practice of science will develop their latent talent and open up new horizons of innovation. With the excellence of technology, it is possible to solve various problems such as food and medicine adulteration, environmental pollution, sea and road accidents and fires.”
