The funds will be used to upgrade infrastructure, expand scientific exhibits, and improve educational outreach. These measures intend to promote science education and research capabilities within Assam and draw more visitors to the Science City.
The Science City, built across more than 150 bighas of land, has witnessed several additional development works since its formal inauguration earlier this year. The project aligns with Assam's broader goals of nurturing scientific temper and innovation among youth.

Officials expect the enhanced Science City to serve as a hub for science communication and provide experiential learning opportunities. The additional financial support demonstrates the government's commitment to investing in educational resources.
