The North Bengal Science Centre was established to promote science education and awareness in the North Bengal region. It is part of the network of science centres developed by the National Council of Science Museums (NCSM), an autonomous organization under the Ministry of Culture, Government of India. The centre was envisioned as a place where people of all ages could learn about scientific principles through interactive exhibits and activities. Since its inception, the centre has played a crucial role in popularizing science among students and the general public, organizing workshops, seminars, and exhibitions to foster a scientific temper. It continues to evolve, adding new exhibits and programs to keep pace with advancements in science and technology.
