With a view to encourage, popularize and inculcate scientific temper among the children of the country, NCERT organizes Jawaharlal Nehru National Science, Mathematics and Environment Exhibition(JNNSMEE) for Children every year where children showcase their talents in science and mathematics and their applications in different areas related to our everyday life. This exhibition is being organized since 1971. In order to ensure the widest possible participation and involvement of students and teachers in the programme, NCERT organises this exhibition in two phases.
