About Science Corner

Commissioned as interactive educational hubs resulting from the collaborative efforts outlined in the Memorandum of Cooperation between NIHERST and NALIS. Science corner will showcase scientific and technological exhibits curated by NIHERST and will be located within public libraries nationwide.

The primary goal is to support students, educators, and researchers in their quest for knowledge. The exhibitions will provide an extensive array of scientific literature, multimedia, and educational materials.

In its practical implementation, the ceremony signifies the joint commitment of both NIHERST and NALIS to actively involve the community. Through a series of workshops, seminars, and outreach programmes, this initiative aims to instill a passion for science and technology across all age groups.
