Natural Science Subject Association - Prakvya

Subject associations play a significant role in promoting academic and professional development among students and teachers. They provide opportunities to extend learning beyond textbooks through activities like seminars, workshops, exhibitions, and competitions. These associations foster teamwork, leadership, and creativity while deepening subject knowledge and practical understanding. They also bridge classroom learning with real-world applications, nurturing curiosity, collaboration, and a love for learning.

The Natural science subject association was conducted on 31 Oct 2025 from 2- 3.30pm in the seminar hall. The program started with the prayer song followed by logo and name reveal.

The program ended with the prize distribution and the national anthem.

Thus this program helped the audience to understand the hidden talent of their classmate at the same it was opportunity of the students from natural science to exhibit their talents.

The judges, Sreeleksmi miss and Praveena miss, had to shoulder the task of finding the talented couple among the five groups.
