Science City of Agartala Tripura is treasure trove of knowledge
Science is the most essential particle of our life. This is an undeniable and essential fact for all. The government of India has given much attention to the improvement of science and technology. Our country has now become the first one to complete mission chandryaan 3. Science made us many ways for easy living and so we are thankful to all those remarkable scientists who have gifted us the results of science. Hence, every child should know about the science since his childhood. Science city plays that vital role for both the educational experience and also provides some entertainment to the people of all ages. In India, we see every other state is having a well maintained science city. So our Tripura is. There was only one science city in Tripura. That is located at the old capital, present Udaipur. Now there has been an inclusion of another science city at the heart of the state, Agartala. I have been wondering and thinking deeply what surprise does this science city can have? This thought only led me to visit Agartala Science City. Here I have disclosed all about Agartala Science city that might help if you are a new visitor of this place.
Among two science cities of Tripura, the Agartala Science City is the bigger one. This was inaugurated by CM Dr. Manik Saha in the beginning of 2023. Since then, people of Tripura have earned another spot of tourism and it has grown more interest among the visitors to come and visit such an authentic tourist spot. Most of the days, the science city is crowded by the visitors coming from every corner of the state.
One place acquiring vast ocean of knowledge – such a thought have definitely triggered people’s mind to look into this place. Crossing all the barriers of ages, all type of people have the freedom to explore into the science city.
Not so surprising, this is the culture that binds human beings.
Agartala science city is just few kilometers away from the main city. Basically it is situated at Siddhi Ashram. One can get regular bus or small jeep cars to reach at the spot or can search for Uber auto services. The car rental per person costs only 20-30 rs for regular bus or other small vehicles.
To enter the science center, you have to buy a ticket first. When I went to the science center the ticket price was 15 rupees per person. Now, however, it may be a bit more. After taking the ticket, you will see straight stairs on both sides to enter the science building. Go up the stairs and pass the beautiful glass door and you will reach the science center. There is a puzzle first to surprise you.
APJ Abdul Kalam statue is made of several parts. After that, you will see the main building of Vigyan Bhavan by turning to your right. The first level of this two-storied science building has the entire history of the universe from creation to circulation. A great illustration of the solar system is shown here.
In addition, archeology era, primitive man and their lifestyle, physical structure and the weapons made by primitive man at that time and some pictures emerge here. Apart from this, an attempt has been made here to give a subtle explanation of how science works in our daily lives. Equations and demonstrations related to mass, speed, etc. are given here.
There were so many things that I don’t even remember. But whatever it was, it was worth enjoying. Moreover, there are many fun games for young children that are based on scientific reasoning. And so they have been placed in this science center. From the most simple science to the most difficult science, an attempt has been made here to present it easily. What we mean by science center is instruments, solar system, different meter scale, physical science, life or biological science, speed of light etc. All these exist in small amounts in this science center.
In keeping with the internal environment of this science center, the external environment has also been well maintained. Although there was a bit of emptiness in the beginning, now several big restaurants and some street food shops have been built around to attract tourists. In the evening, you can see a crowd of young women, children and old people outside the science center. Especially in the winter months of November and December, the amount of crowd here increases a little.
Besides, every year the students of different classes of the school are taken on the excursion by the government and private schools of the state. Earlier students were taken to Rabindra Kanan in Agartala or different parks. Since the opening of the science center, students are now taken to this science center for educational trips which has much accuracy and value too. If we have to spend some time away from our busy daily lives, it is better to go to a place like a science center. In this, time will be used honestly and our knowledge will grow. All of us should increase the importance of such tourist places and motivate everyone so that more and more tourists visit such tourist places.
The Agartala Science Center is not just a plan to augment or expand the state government’s tourism department. It can be said that this science center is a unique effort to increase passion and love for science among the people of the state.
In my experience this science center is one of the best tourist spots in Agartala so far. I hope this article inspires you to visit the science center at least once.
