The National Council of Science Museum has opened many National Science Centers around the country. The aim of this council is to show different uses of science in different fields with educational point of view. There are many National Science Centres. I was lucky to have a chance of visiting the National Science Centre in Delhi.
During last summer vacation I happened to go to Delhi with my mother to see my uncle. He is a lecturer in a college in Delhi. He has two children. One son and one daughter. I saw many things but a visit to National Science Centre was a memory for me.
I went there with my cousin who was a student of tenth class at that time. We were three. The first thing that hit me was the number of children there. I saw many foreigners also. Children from different states could be seen there. Delhi is in real sense a capital of India. He can see different culture of different states assembling there. So it was a thing of wonder for me to see so many children in different costumes speaking different local languages.
As I stepped into the first gallery , it seemed that I had entered a different world. All around me, there was knowledge available in different and very interesting forms. The first gallery was representing ancient civilizations stepwise. How the early man lived, what he ate, how he thought etc. there were shown many mind puzzling problems which made me thing how difficult was our life living among wild animals. The information on past scientists and mathematicians was also there. Industrial development in the past and the present was also exhibited. The last part of the gallery was full of plant fossils and the stories of extinct animals that had ruled in the past.
The second gallery was about fun with science. Here I could see the children who were participating in the centre’s summer programme having lots of fun. We could see their 10 to 13 year- olds sawing pieces of wood or hammering them together, to make scientific models. A strange thing, even the parent of the participates were enjoying themselves.
Principles of science have been used to from simple yet engrossing games. They can occupy one for long. At the end of gallery, there is a tiny planetarium built like an igloo. There is also a Dinosaur Enclave which has four very life-like models of dinosaurs. The third gallery has the details of information revolution. The third gallery has the details of information revolution. The fourth gallery has the knowledge of computers equipped with all the latest machines. In the last of this gallery, information about Noble laureates of the present was presented. The fifth gallery has revolution of the emerging technologies in the world. This was followed by a 3-D, graphic representation of life as we live it today. Man’s space progress was also shown. The practical knowledge gained in these galleries was more than what I could have learnt in the class room. Always remember to visit this real fun way of science.

Explanation:
The National Science Centre is the northern zonal headquarters of the National Council of Science Museums. The first Science Museum under this Council, the Birla Industrial & Technological Museum came up on 2 May 1959 at Calcutta. Thereafter another Museum, the Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum was opened in Bangalore in 1962. These Museums were inspired by the vision of Dr.Bidhan Chandra Roy, the first Chief Minister of West Bengal and was encouraged by pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, who always had a soft corner for scientific temper. Dr. Amalendu Bose, a young chemistry graduate at that time, was recruited by Dr.B.C.Roy to commission the first Museum at Calcutta. Thereafter several smaller centres came up, but for over two decades, there was a lull in the science museum movement in India.

The coming to power of Rajiv Gandhi saw a fresh impetus for science popularisation. The Nehru Science Centre in Mumbai came up as the third major Science Centre. During this period, the movement also witnessed a shift from traditional science museums like the London Science Museum, the Deutsches Museum etc. to what were called 'Science Centres' in the line of the Exploratorium in the USA. With Rajiv Gandhi inaugurating the Mumbai Centre, the Science Centre movement embarked on a period of explosive growth, with science centres opening in most state capitals of India. With Kolkata, Bangalore and Mumbai Centres functional, a need for a big Centre in the Nation's capital in Delhi in the north was felt, and work started in earnest in 1984. Starting with a small shed near a municipal swimming pool in R K Puram and thereafter within a shrub forest in Timarpur, the National Science Centre was conceived, designed, built and made operational in 1992. It was inaugurated on 9 January 1992 by the then Prime Minister of India, P.V.Narasimha Rao and is situated between the Gate Nos. 1 and 2 of the Pragati Maidan exhibition grounds, on the Bhairon Road, across Purana Qila, Delhi. It is open all seven days a week from 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM except on the Indian Festival days of Holi and Diwali. The building was designed by noted Indian architect Achyut Kanvinde.[2]
The Innovative approaches adopted in the Education Outreach Activities of this Centre since 2009 has been widely appreciated and has resulted in generating an annual visitor figure in excess of half a million for the first time in the year 2008-2009. Also this Centre is unique in organising such socially relevant activities as Regular visits for specially abled children, Sensorimotor development skill workshops for autistic children and those with cerebral palsy, Breast cancer awareness and early detection for destitute women, Life skill development for underprivileged children Science awareness for minority groups like madrassa students, Science versus superstition for slum dwellers in JJ clusters, Sign language science demonstration lectures for hearing impaired highly subsidised entry for children from Municipal schools, Stress management for adoloscents, Astronomy awareness with special programmes for dispelling myths related to eclipses for rural audience, Basic first aid training for housewives, Special programmes for war widows in collaboration with Indian Armed Forces, Vocational training for destitute women and widows etc.
