It consists of an array of working, science models, which were operated by the students themselves. These working models are intended to make the children comprehend the basic principles of how things work. The visit to the National Science Centre was one of the best ways to arouse curiosity in the minds of children. The practical knowledge gained in these galleries was more than what students could have learnt in the classrooms. The students thoroughly enjoyed the visit.

There are 75 stamps from different countries, released on the centenary year of Mahatma Gandhi. And there are models of Gandhiji’s house at Porbandar in Gujarat, Sabarmati Ashram and Yervada Jail.
