KOLKATA: The
National Council of Science Museums (NCSM) has drawn up an
ambitious plan to build museums in every Indian state.
"Work
has begun to set up science museums in the northeastern
states, such as Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland,
Manipur, Mizoram and Sikkim, besides Haryana, Punjab,
Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh to generate awareness among the
people," Ingit Mukherjee, director general of NCSM, said here
Monday. Mukherjee
was speaking at the inauguration of a metals gallery at the
Birla Industrial and Technological Museum (BITM).
"Science museums
are in the offing in Amritsar, Ranchi and Lucknow while work
has started for a planetarium at Kurukshetra (Haryana) in the
memory of space scientist Kalpana Chawla," he said.
NSCM runs 28
science museums countrywide. "We are going to start work on a
science museum in Jammu and Kalimgpong in north Bengal.
Uttaranchal and Chhattisgarh would also get science museums,"
Mukherjee said. The NCSM recently set up a museum in
Mauritius and is building another in Nepal, he said.
"We have also
started taking up corporate assignments. An oil museum was set
up for ONGC (Oil and Natural Gas Corporation)," Mukherjee
said.
