1. INTRODUCTION

NEHRU SCIENCE CENTRE, MUMBAI

During the year 2018-19, the Nehru Science Centre

(NSC) further strengthened its infrastructure and

programmes for effective science communication and

popularization among public in general and students in

particular. It continued its tradition of providing an

opportunity to its esteemed visitors to explore new

trends in science and technology, which are integral to

benefitting human society. Keeping in tune with what is

destined to shape our future, which often is being

referred to as the 4th Industrial Revolution, NSC curated

an exhibition and opened this new state of the art gallery

which was titled Machined to Think. The exhibition

provides a bird’s eye view on the technologies that are

destined to usher us into the 4th Industrial Revolution,

popularly referred to as IR4.0. The exhibition showcases

the attributes of industrial revolution 4.0, its technology

and major components like artificial intelligence,

augmented reality, Block Chain, Internet of Things

(IOT), in an easy to understand and with immersive

experience. This exhibition was opened for the public

on the eve of the National Technology Day (11th May

2018) by one of the distinguished scientist, Padma

Vibhushan Dr. Anil Kakodkar, in the presence of

several distinguished guests.

NSC also added a new group of exhibits, namely,

Rolling Ball Sculpture, which has replaced one of the

oldest exhibits Energy Ball, which was installed at the

time of inauguration of Nehru Science Centre during the

year 1985. The exhibit ‘Rolling Ball sculpture’ was

opened to the public by young differently-abled children

on 12th June. NSC also opened another facility, Flight

Simulator, which includes an original Boeing 747 200

simulator artefact, which was extensively used by the

Boeing Pilots for test and training for several years in

Mumbai. This flight simulator provides an ambience of

what the inside of an aircraft looks like and the state of

the art technologies that are used for the navigation of

the aeroplanes. This Boeing 747 200 simulator, which

can simulate life like situations of real time flying, was

extensively used by Air India pilots for their training.

The year 2018 marked the centenary of the global

Spanish Flu, which killed more than 70 million people

across the globe including 5 million people in India.

NSC joined hands with two internationally acclaimed

institutions, the Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC, USA and the Harvard Global Health Institute, to

bring an internationally acclaimed exhibition “Outbreak:

Epidemic in a Connected World” to the centre. A

section on India was added to this international

exhibition which was opened by internationally

acclaimed physician Dr Zarir Udwadia in the presence

of the head of HGHI and other dignitaries. A series of

outreach educational programmes and activities were

organised during the exhibition in collaboration with

Asia Society.

NSC Mumbai was the main coordinator for the

Illuminating India: 5000 Years of Science,

Technology and Innovation exhibition that was

presented in London Science Museum. Precious

artefacts and other objects, which were sent from India

for this exhibition by NSCM, were successfully and

safely brought back to India from London Science

Museum. The science centre’s much visited facility of

Science Odyssey also had a new film for its esteemed

visitors, providing them an out of the world experience

on Aircraft Carrier: Guardians of the Sea.

Nehru Science Centre also completed two new

projects “Science and Innovation Activity Centres” in

Amravati and Satara under the scheme of Rajiv Gandhi

Science & Technology Commission of Govt. of

Maharashtra State. NSC was also involved in supporting

the NCSM in development of the Regional Science

Centre, Kottayam in Kerala. This new science centre is

likely to be completed by March 2020. The science

centre in Mumbai also contributed several exhibits for

various upcoming science centres. The Centre has also

started the work of Sub Regional Science Centre

Udaipur in Rajasthan.

In addition to this NSC also developed more than

30 science demonstration kits on assorted themes for

making science more interesting for its visitors,

particularly the organised School groups. In terms of

travelling exhibitions on current themes, NSC

collaborated with MMRTC in developing an exhibition

on Mumbai Metro which specially highlighted the much

acclaimed Metro line III, which will connect NSC via

the science museum metro station to several important

places of Mumbai over a length of 27 kilometres. NSC

also had an opportunity to put on display some historical

artefacts like the Nobel prize winner Raman’s

spectrograph along with other objects like the Cresco

graph by Dr J C Bose, The Lambton Theodolite and its

other accessories etc. On the occasion of International

Museum Day, an exhibition “My Own Collections” was

organised in which more than 50 collectors participated

2

and displayed their collections. This exhibition was

inaugurated by Ms Tasneem Mehta, Director, Bhau

Daaji Laad museum. Like every year informative panels

on Nobel Prize winners were also designed, developed

and displayed for enriching our visitors. The exhibitions

on Mango Festival, Heritage on Wheels, International

Day of Yoga, Gandhi and Science were also organised

successfully.

An international exhibition Mental Health and

Exploring Brain was organised in collaboration with

NS Vahia Foundation, Mumbai and Mclean Hospital,

USA. This exhibition and a series of lectures and

outreach programmes organised during this period were

very well appreciated by the audience and the respective

international collaborators. We also associated with

Bombay Association for Science Education and Royal

Society for Chemistry, London for Workshops on

Chemistry for teachers. The 12th Asian congress on

Maxillofacial and 5th Green Health Conference were

held in collaboration with NEERI Nagpur. NSC also

organised two day Rosatom Festival of Science &

Culture by collaborating with Russian government

agency for Nuclear power. The STEM festival for Girls

2018 in collaboration with Greenlight4Girls,

Chandarmohan Foundation and Covestro was extended

over 5 science centres in western zone and covered

about 3500 girls. The primary objective was to inspire

girls to choose science, technology, engineering and

mathematics as career.

Among other important events, NSC organised

BASE workshop for electronic based experiments,

Innovative experiments in Physics for tribal teachers,

Swachha Bharat Mission programme in collaboration

with KEM hospital and Clean We Go, Seminar on

Green Future for Next generation was organised in

collaboration with Rotary Clubs. Other programmes

collaborative events during the year and was able to

reach over a million people through its onsite and
