Adviser to Science City Dehradun and former Director General of Anthropological Survey of India, Ministry of Culture Shri G.S. Rautela said that science and technology is a part of our life. We study, learn about science and technology in school, college and university, but in reality, we get knowledge of the basic principles, technology and skills of science by observing and analyzing the events happening in our surrounding environment. . He said that science centers have an important role to play in developing public awareness about contemporary research and in creating interest in science among common citizens. The main objective of the Science Center is to solve the scientific thinking, curiosities and doubts of the people through non-formal education of science.

After a lot of development in the field of information and communication technology, today the world is passing through a period of unprecedented and insurmountable changes. The achievement of any state, country and its people can be determined efficiently in new technology. We need to learn new skills and adapt ourselves to technological innovation.
