Dr. Kishor Kumar Tripathy, the Member Secretary of AuroBharati at the Sri Aurobindo Society in Puducherry, was invited as the Chief Guest for an educational initiative launched by PSBB Millennium School in Cuddalore. The event also featured the presence of Mrs. N. Mahalakshmi, Principal of PSBB Millennium School, Ms. Vidya Ramkumar, a distinguished social worker, Shri S Kumaran, an art teacher, along with the faculty and students of the school.

During his address, Dr. Tripathy highlighted that traditional science and Indian knowledge systems present a wealth of wisdom that can significantly enrich contemporary education and stimulate creativity. He noted that for centuries, ancient Indian scholars have made pioneering contributions across various disciplines, including mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and metallurgy. Landmark texts such as the Sushruta Samhita have been instrumental in shaping modern surgical practices, while India's introduction of the decimal system and the concept of zero has transformed mathematics on a global scale. Dr. Tripathy asserted that by thoughtfully incorporating this traditional knowledge into educational frameworks, we can offer students a more comprehensive and nuanced perspective of the world. Engaging with diverse viewpoints from both modern science and traditional knowledge encourages students to develop critical thinking skills, challenge existing assumptions, and tackle problems from innovative perspectives.

Student exhibition project was of considerable importance within academic environments. These initiatives offered students an opportunity to present their knowledge, skills, and creativity to a broader audience. By participating in these projects, students effectively applied theoretical concepts acquired in the classroom to practical situations. Furthermore, these educational endeavours promoted critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication. Throughout the stages of planning, executing, and presenting their projects, students cultivated essential transferable skills, including research, teamwork, and public speaking. In conclusion, the student exhibition project served as an outstanding program, providing a rewarding experience that emphasizes active learning, and equips students for future academic and professional pursuits.
