India is Celebrating Azaadi ka Amrit Mahotsav to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of India’s Independence. During this special celebration, the contribution of India towards Astronomy should not be forgotten. India has a long and rich history in the field of astronomy by notable Indian astronomers and mathematicians who have played a key role in the development of our understanding of the cosmos. To keep the comic spirits high and to enter 2023 with astronomical enthusiasm, we are proud to collaborate with the National Science Centre and Nehru Planetarium, New Delhi for the Astro Night Sky Tourism, under the banner of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, G20 & Ministry of Culture. The purpose of this event is to make the city people aware about astronomy and science through engaging activities and ignite their curiosity to look up at the sky and appreciate the celestials themselves. The celebration will hold various activities to know more about Astronomy and Science like Astro-Talk, Storytelling, Sky watch, exhibitions as well engaging quizzes.
The Astro Night Sky Tourism event was appreciated by Hon’ble PM of India Narendra Modi also as he tweeted: “Interesting effort to ignite curiosity towards space and astronomy among our youth.”
