CHANDIGARH, FEB 7
In an
inspired initiative to promote bio-sciences education, the Chandigarh Group of
Colleges, Gharuan will be organising a Bio-Sciences Olympiad 2012 involving thousands
of school and college students from across the region in a competition where
top prizes will include laptop and cell phones and scholarships worth Rs.7.5
lakh.
“The idea
of Bio-Sciences Olympiad was triggered by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's
recent exhortation at the Indian Science Congress 2012 where he said India was
falling way behind China when it came to investment in science. At CGC,
Gharuan, we thought there was a need to increase awareness among school and
college students about science, particularly bio-sciences, since India is fast
moving to become a world leader in pharmaseutical sector,” said Satnam Singh
Sandhu, Chairman, Chandigarh Group of Colleges.
Schools and
colleges or individual students pursuing science education can register
themselves online, free of cost, for taking part in the Bio-Sciences Olympiad
by visiting www.cgc.edu.in. All the students who are doing B.Sc.
(Medical/Non-Medical), B.Sc. (Biotechnology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Human
Biology) and all students appearing for XII exams are eligible to participate
in the Olympiad.
The
Bio-Sciences Olympiad 2012 will be carried out at two levels for schools and
colleges students. Organising teams from CGC Gharuan will be visiting schools
and colleges across the region to conduct preliminary screening contests in
schools, colleges or regional centres through an objective type written test.
The
contests will then move to CGC Gharuan for semi-finals and then the Grand
Finale. Up for grabs for the winner will be a state-of-the-art Laptop, while
the first and second runner up will walk home with a swank, smart mobile
handset. Many other prizes including scholarships will also be on offer,
besides the immense satisfaction of having taken part in a highly scholastic
Olympiad.
