Govt supports setting up of science cities, innovation hubs & digital planetariums based on proposals under NCSM
UNION Minister for Tourism Gajendra Singh Shekhawat on Thursday inaugurated the newly constructed Science Centre at Bommuru, developed at a cost of ₹15.20 crore. He said the centre would play a vital role in promoting scientific literacy and curiosity through interactive exhibits, educational programmes, and engaging activities.
The Minister said science centres and museums are instrumental in developing scientific aptitude, research thinking, and creativity among students. He noted that the Rajamahendravaram centre elevates the city—already known as AP's cultural capital—into a budding science hub.
He explained that the National Council of Science Museums (NCSM), an autonomous body under the Ministry of Culture, is the implementing agency for the scheme aimed at fostering a culture of science.
