Welcome To DISTRICT SCIENCE CENTRE
The District Science Centre was opened to the public on 27th February 1987 with a gallery on "Treasures from Ocean" and a Science Park. Soon the Centre became one of the most popular centres in NCSM network with the spontaneous support of the local community.

At present, the Centre has four galleries on the topics ‘Fun Science’, ‘Popular Science’, ‘Electronics’ and a ‘New Wing of Electronics’. The Centre also has a 3D Theatre, Television Studio and Pre-historic Park. The Mirror Magic Corner is an added attraction of the Centre.
