Mysuru: The Union and State Government’s ambitious plan to establish a Regional Science Centre on the banks of Kukkarahalli Lake has invited the wrath of environmental activists and Green Groups. They have now written to the Gaurav Gupta, Principal Secretary, Department of IT, BT and Science & Technology, asking him to relocate the Centre from the ecologically-sensitive Kukkarahalli Lake.
The National Council of Science Museums (NCSM) has plans of developing a Regional Science Centre in the premises of University of Mysore (UoM). The Science Centre will be jointly developed by State and Centre with 50:50 funding.
