> Title : Need to set up a Modern Science City and a Planetarium in Chandigarh.
SHRI PAWAN KUMAR BANSAL (CHANDIGARH): Chandigarh is fast emerging as a city of excellence in education. The Punjab University, the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, the Punjab Engineering College, the College of Architecture, the Institute of Microbial Technology, and various other institutes have lent Chandigarh an important place in the field of higher education. CSIO there has also registered path-breaking success in fields of the future like nanotechnology. However, despite all this, much needs to be done to promote science at the school level and to develop the scientific temper amongst the students. In this regard, I urge the Government to set up a modern Science City covering all sciences and a planetarium in Chandigarh.
