We provided voluntary services of interpretation of the exhibition in local language to thousands of students who visited the exhibition. Govindalya’s voluntary services at Balangir and Rayagada to Science Express helped organisers of the Exhibition disseminating technical and scientific information to school going children and teachers of KBK, which is one of the most backward regions in India.
