Everything is cared to nurture the brains to actively be innovated in allfaculties . Nutritionists announce that rice water is nutritional for the brains .We use to hear that practice makes perfect , so does the brains need

practices . Besides , the key to designation is the requirement for a conduciveenvironment of innovation to naturally developed .

And above all , it isexciting and interesting which create curiosity which is the premise of beinginnovative and creative at the prime age of the secondary level .
