10 kids from Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, depart on an educational visit to ISRO

On Monday, ten students set out for an informative tour of ISRO's Space Application Centre located in Ahmedabad. In front of the students' parents and district government representatives, the state's Minister of Technical Education, Rajesh Dharmani, flagged off a bus that would transport them to their destination. Models of several ISRO programs were erected in the Space Lab, which the district administration opened in January of this year at the Ghumarwin Boys School.

According to officials, the aim of these programs is to stimulate children's curiosity about science and space science in rural parts of the Bilaspur district. Dharmani stated in an interview with the media that space labs will be opened by the district administration in four distinct subdivisions of Bilaspur.

Encourage children in rural areas to be interested in science

He said that the purpose of these programs is to draw children studying in the rural parts of the Bilaspur district's interest in science, particularly space science. The officials noted that in addition to the Space Application Center, schoolchildren would also visit the largest space museum in the nation, located under Gujarat Science City, as well as a state-of-the-art IMAX 3D theater, energy park, life science park, musical fountains, and the Hall of Space.
