Karnataka school teens from rural and tribal backgrounds make scientific mark with international journal publication

Four young girls from Karnataka, one of them from a tribal community, have achieved a rare feat by co-authoring a research paper published in a Scopus-indexed international science journal.

Class 11 students, namely, Kirat Kaur from Bidar, S. Yamini from Hosadoddi village and Reshma J.V. from Hosahalli, H.D. Kote, and class 10 student Lakshmi G. from Kaggalipura village, contributed to research that explored an environmentally safe method to create copper-based nanoparticles using plant extracts.
