Gujarat is a state located in the western side of the Indian Subcontinent and is considered to be one of the most progressive and prosperous Indian states of the 21st century for varied reasons ranging from economic conditions to social and much of it can be attributed to Narendra Modi who was the Chief Minister of the State before becoming the Prime Minister of India.
Gujrat came into existence after separating itself from the erstwhile ‘Bombay’of the 1960s and now happens to span over 1,96,024 odd square kilometers and provides habitation to more than 64 million Indians. The Government of Gujarat possesses around 107 hectares of land for a registered society that has been formed, that regulates and maintains the Gujarat Science City mandate.
The Gujarat Science City (or simply Science City by the locals) is a bold initiative by the government to popularize science and promote scientific temperament among the communities of Gujarat.
The fast paced environment of today demands some knowledge of basic science and a lot more of the scientific temperament and hence this initiative has been a priority since long. And this priority was soon realized in May of 2009 when Gujarat Science City was established.
This Science City has been developed to foster education with a blend of entertainment for the general mass. It hosts an amazing centre with imaginative and informative yet contemporary exhibitions of labs, working models, interesting activity corners and virtual reality with live demonstrations to provide an understanding of science and technology to the common man.
Architecture of Science City
The architecture of Science City is very well designed with each attraction separated into different sections or modules. The centre has a plethora of cool things the likes of which are an amazing Hall of Science, an amphitheatre, a very informative Life Science Park, an IMAX 3D theatre and few quirky musical fountains which dances to songs and rhythms. A dedicated centre for exams is also provided.
On getting a bird’s eye view of the map of Science City, we will find that the parking lies just outside the main entrance. Although there are multiple entry points, the main entrance is the easiest to spot due to the presence of the above mentioned parking facility. One cannot simply miss the bustling cars that are parked here everyday and thereby miss the entrance!
The entire complex has roads and pavements connected in polygons to give rise to a hexagonal shape. Infact, it seems the inspiration for this design has been derived from that of a beehive.
There are essentially 13 main sections in the Science City complex viz.:-
1. IMAX Theatre
2. Electrodome
3. Hall of Space & Science
4. Amphitheatre
5. Expo Ground
6. Children Activity Centre
7. Restaurants
8. Planet Earth
9. Life Science Park
10. Energy Park
11. Musical Fountain
12. Thrill Ride
13. Auda Garden
For the visual learners, there’s a map of Gujarat Science City that provides a bird’s eye view straight from the official website of Gujarat Council of Science City.
