Former President A P J Abdul Kalam will inaugurate the week-long 16th National Children's Science Congress (NCSC) at Dimapur on December 27.
Official sources in Kohima said Dr Kalam would visit Dimapur to flag off the week-long 16th NCSC, jointly hosted by the Nagaland Institute of Health, Environment and Social Welfare and the state government, at the Livingstone Foundation Higher Secondary School.
The programme, themed upon ''Planet Earth - Our Home: Explore Share and Care'', would continue till December 31, sources added.
Sources said students between the age group of 10 and 17 years across the country would participate in the exhibition, adding eight budding scientists from Nagaland would also showcase their creations.
''The primary objective of the NCSC is to make a forum available to children, both from formal school system as well as those out of school, to exhibit their innovative creations, particularly their ability to solve a social problem experienced locally using the methods of science,'' sources added.
