This award is not your first
achievement. Tell us about the rest
of them.
Yes. At the Lions International Sci-
entific Competition in 2020, I re-
ceived an award from the Honourable
Finance Minister of Telangana, Har-
ish Rao. In 2021, I placed second in a
state-level scientific competition or-
ganised by Tech Mahindra and Sci-
ence Academy. Also, I am the recipi-
ent of the Telangana Prantha
Upadhyaya Sangham (TPUS) District
Best Teacher Award 2021.
What is your advice to students and
other teachers who wish to
encourage scientific temper?
Activity-based learning is the most
effective method for instilling a
sound scientific approach, creativity,
teamwork, critical thinking, and com-
munication. Students should be ac-
tive participants in the teaching-
learning process. They should
concentrate on classroom study and
participating in science competitions,
which will bring out their potential.
It is the teacher's primary responsi-
bility to bridge the learning gap and
assist students in overcoming their
weaknesses. Teachers should encour-
age their students to explore science M Pavithra conducts regular science activities in school
