Tejura, a student of St Mary's School, Rajkot, made an outstanding presentation and won the competition. Now he will take part in the national-level edition of the contest to which will be held at National Science Centre, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi.
Besides Tejura, three students also gave good performances on Tuesday. Principal of PV Modi School, Rajkot, Himanshu Patel, who was accompanying participant from his school, said, "I have been coming here for four years. Although there is some improvement in student's presentations, you still get a feeling that most of the work is done by teachers. Students merely mug it up."
