India Enters Guinness Records
India Enters Guinness Records For ‘World’s Largest Practical Science Lesson’
New Delhi, December 16, 2015: NEW DELHI: India has earned a place in the coveted Guinness Book of World Records by conducting the ‘worlds largest practical science lesson’.
On December 7, as many as 2000 students from various schools across the city, came together at IIT Delhi and successfully conducted two simple chemistry experiments.
The students, wearing their white lab-coats, entered the venue within the IIT Delhi campus, where they were given a numbered band. Before the students performed the experiments, they were given a detailed lesson on catalysis as the experiments they performed were using catalysts.
One of the experiments included the making of the Indian Tricolour using different food colours.
The judges included a vice chancellor of a university, and interestingly, the special commissioner of police from Delhi, who carefully oversaw that the entire exercise was conducted in an orderly manner.
Today the Ministry of Science and Technology confirmed that the Guinness Records organisation has accepted, India’s claim. The record was last held by the revered Royal Society of Chemistry at a similar mass demonstration done in Ireland where 1339 students participated earlier this year.
