Message and Invitation

Dear Esteemed Colleagues,


I am pleased to extend a warm invitation to you and your institution to participate in the Eureka International Science and Environment Olympiad 2024, our upcoming series of competitions, aimed at nurturing a spirit of scientific inquiry and environmental stewardship. Scheduled for grades four to twelve, these competitions offer a platform for students to showcase their talents and contribute to the advancement of science and environmental awareness. Friends, the present state of the environment is alarmingly deteriorating and this plummet cannot be ignored. Every act or step we take towards progress is inadvertently a fall towards the destruction of the planet. Does it mean that we stop progressing and refrain from scientific advancement? I believe not. Cautiousness is the answer, awareness is the answer and the right temperament and approach are the answers to all those causes that are gnawing away the years off the planet's existence.

MESSAGES

Dr Jagdish Gandhi & Dr Bharti Gandhi

Founder-Manager & Founder-Director

The purpose of today’s school education should be to develop and release capacities latent in the child, develop analytical abilities, confidence in oneself, will power and goal-setting competencies, and instill the vision that will enable a person to become a self-motivated agent of social change...

Prof Geeta Kingdon

President & Managerr

Childhood is the world of miracles or of magic: it is as if creation rose luminously out of the night, all new and astonishing. Childhood is over the moment things are no longer astonishing. When the world gives you a feeling of "déjà vu," when you are used to existence, you become an adult...

Ms Susmita Ghose

Superior Principal and Head, QAID

Science and environment are two sides of the same coin. The former is a tool to understand the latter, and the latter is the reason for the former’s existence.

Environment is not just a collection of natural resources; it is a living, breathing entity that sustains all life on Earth...
