A panel of esteemed judges—Sr. Lecturers Ramesh Kumar, Apram Sharma, Rashid Hamid Kamal, Ali Imran, and Baber Amin—evaluated the displays based on creativity, scientific approach, and practical relevance. In the seminar on “Millets for Health and Sustainable Planet” six students from different schools presented well-researched papers, with a Class 12 student from GHSS Girls Kishtwar winning first position, advancing to the divisional level competition at SCERT Jammu.
