The Raman Science Centre is an interactive science centre located in Nagpur that is affiliated with Mumbai’s Nehru Science Centre and was developed with the objective of promoting a scientific attitude amongst the masses. The centre was established on 7 March in 1992, following which the planetarium was made functional on 5 January 1997. Various science exhibitions are carried out in the centre which show the growth of science and technology and the application of this science in human welfare and industries. The centre got its name from the famous winner of the Nobel Prize, the Indian physicist Mr Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman. The centre thereby supports a scientific bent of mind and attitude.
Even though the unique purpose of the science centre plays a vital role in helping it to get attention and visitors throughout the year, the facilities offered by it are what keeps that attention going and make it stay. Some services provided at the Raman Science Centre include a gallery showcasing Information & Technology, inventions and innovations by people from all over, an exhibition called fun science giving a practical insight into the scientific principles and a beautiful and large science park which is spread over 6 acres of land.
A pre-historic animal park, 3D shows, planetarium, science demonstration lectures as well as sky observation programs are some of the other exciting and intriguing activities which are undertaken by Raman Science Centre. This range of unusual and engaging activities and attractions ensure that the place is loved by adults and children alike and that a visit to the centre is on the top of the list of things to do while in Nagpur.
