Haridwar: A school here
said Saturday that an essay related to Saturn by one of its Class
7 students has won recognition from the US National Aeronautics
and Space Administration (NASA).
Gayatri Vidhyapeeth, Shantikunj, said of the 29 entries from its
students, one by Dhara Sharma, a student of Class 7, "has achieved
the position within first 10".
Similar essays by Dipesh Bharti, Saurabh Rathi and Jasprit Kaur of
Gayatri Vidhyapeeth at Rajnandgaon in Chhattisgarh had also been

satellites.
The Haridwar school said participating students were asked to
write an essay within 500 words expressing their scientific and
artistic view of the pictures taken of Saturn.
