State officials say a science centre and planetarium are under construction in Namsai, Arunachal Pradesh, and senior ministers visited the site to assess the work.
The government of Arunachal Pradesh has approved the construction of a dedicated science centre and an adjoining planetarium in the town of Namsai. The facilities are intended to promote scientific literacy and provide interactive learning opportunities for students and the public in the region.
Earlier this week, senior state ministers toured the construction site to examine the progress of the project. During the visit they inspected the structural framework, reviewed the timeline with contractors and emphasized the importance of adhering to safety and quality standards.
Officials indicated that the centre is expected to be operational in the next few years, once the building and exhibit installations are completed. The addition of these scientific amenities is seen as a step toward enhancing educational infrastructure in the remote northeastern state.
