Kerala has launched the official logo for the 58th State School Science Fair in Mannarkkad, where over 7,000 student innovators will share their ideas.
Get ready for an amazing celebration of curious minds and bright inventions! Kerala General Education Minister N. Samsudheen has officially launched the logo for the 58th Kerala State School Science Fair, popularly known as Sasthrolsavam 2026. The special ceremony took place at Darunnajath Higher Secondary School in Nellipuzha, Mannarkkad.
This massive state-level school festival will run across four exciting days, from 18 November to 21 November 2026, in the Palakkad district. More than 7,000 student innovators and competitors from all across the state of Kerala are expected to take part and showcase their unique projects.
What happened?
The annual festival brings together several learning areas under one grand banner. Students will compete and display their hard work across five major disciplines: science, mathematics, social science, information technology (IT), and work experience.
Because thousands of young thinkers, teachers, and visitors are arriving, organisers have spread the events across multiple school venues in Mannarkkad to manage the crowds safely. Kalladi Higher Secondary School in Kumaramputhur will host the mathematics fair, while MET Higher Secondary School in Mannarkkad will welcome the social science fair.
Darunnajath Higher Secondary School in Nellipuzha will host the work experience competitions, where students demonstrate hands-on craft and practical skills. MES Higher Secondary School will be buzzing with excitement as it hosts both the science and IT fairs. That same venue will also present the Young Innovators Programme (YIP) Sasthrapadham idea exhibition.
Other lively venues include Mini Mubas Stadium at Nellipuzha, which will host the career fest and skill festival exhibition. Alongside this, GMUP School in Mannarkkad will host the skill festival competitions.
To ensure everything runs smoothly, a planning and review meeting was held. MLA K. Premkumar presided over this gathering, working together with Mannarkkad Municipal Chairperson K. Sajna, Block Panchayat President Neethu Shankar, and headteachers from local schools.
In addition, organisers announced that the entire science festival will strictly follow a green protocol. This rule ensures zero waste is created during the four days and keeps the festival friendly to the environment.
