NCSM to setup eight new Science centres
New Delhi: The National Council of Science Museum (NCSM) will soon setup eight new science museums and one planetarium in Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry through a Central Government funding.
At present, there are 27 science museums and centres in the country that have seen 9.5 million visitors, with the number growing every year.
The Centre has also brought in major changes in the different schemes for Science cities, regional science centres and sub-regional science centres.
The changes are a result of the difficulties faced by the state governments in making available 50 acres of land besides the state share of 13 percent of the cost, said sources.
The Centre will now bear 60 percent of the project cost with maximum limit of Rs.30 crores.
