This greatest achievement has been possible only as a result of the tireless and continuous efforts of our talented scientists. Today's children will be the responsible citizens and scientists of tomorrow, hence it is the sacred responsibility of all of us to make them visit institutions of national importance from time to time and give them meaningful information about them. Only when curiosity and desire arise in the minds of children will they be committed to doing something new. This commitment will place them at the forefront of any field.
