Officials, teachers, students, and journalists attended the function. Winners were awarded certificates and prizes, and sewing machines were distributed among underprivileged women to support self-employment.
Mir Helal said such science fairs are vital platforms for fostering innovation, responsibility, and patriotism among the younger generation.
