Deoghar: Students of St Francis School, Jasidih, showcased their creativity, scientific thinking and innovative ideas at ASCIORA ’26, an art and science exhibition organised on Thursday under the theme ‘Explore, Create, Innovate’.
Deoghar Deputy Commissioner-cum-District Magistrate Saurabh Kumar Bhuvania, who attended the exhibition as the chief guest, appreciated the students’ projects and innovative models. He said the confidence, self-acceptance and ability of children to express themselves before an audience reflected the promise of a bright future.
Addressing the gathering, Bhuvania shared an experience from his own school days, recalling how he once felt hesitant about facing an audience and preferred remaining behind the curtains. He credited teachers for playing a crucial role in overcoming such barriers and shaping children into sensitive, responsible citizens.
Speaking in his capacity as a parent, he also expressed happiness that his son studies at the institution. He encouraged students to establish their own identities through hard work and dedication and to make meaningful contributions to society, rather than relying on the positions or achievements of their parents.
The Deputy Commissioner also commended Principal Rev. Sr. Anila F.C.C., the school management committee and teachers for their efforts in providing students with opportunities to explore their potential.
Deputy Development Commissioner Piyush Sinha and Sub-Divisional Officer Ravi Kumar also praised the students' scientific temperament and creative abilities. They observed that exhibitions of this nature provide an important platform for children to discover their interests, develop practical skills and bring their ideas to life.
The event was attended by Education Councillor Rev. Sr. Sunu F.C.C., SDPO Kalidhar Kumar, Deoghar Mayor Ravi Kumar Raut and Deputy Mayor Teep Chatterjee, along with teachers, parents and other distinguished guests.
The visiting dignitaries congratulated the school fraternity for organising the exhibition and encouraged students to continue pursuing innovation, creativity and excellence in their future endeavours.
