From 3D Digital Domes to Robotics Labs, the Upcoming “Science Experience Centre” at CSIR-IICT Promises an Immersive Future for Telangana’s Youth.
Hyderabad is evolving. While we’ve long been known as the “City of Pearls” and a global IT powerhouse, our skyline is about to welcome a landmark that isn’t just a building—it’s a launchpad for the next generation of innovators.
On April 10, 2026, Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy officially unveiled the first building designs and details for the Science Experience Centre. Located within the prestigious CSIR-IICT campus (near NGRI), this ₹232.70 crore project is the heart of Hyderabad’s ambitious Science City initiative.
A Museum? No, an Experience.
The vision is simple but bold: Move beyond rote learning. The Government of India is building a space where science isn’t something you read in a dusty textbook, but something you feel, touch, and move through.

- 3D Digital Dome Theatre: A high-tech portal to the stars. Using advanced visual projection, this theatre offers immersive deep-dives into astronomy and space exploration.
- Walk-Through Aquarium: A journey into marine biology. Visitors can explore underwater ecosystems firsthand, making marine conservation feel personal rather than abstract.
- Motion Simulators: Ever wondered about the forces of physics? These simulators let you experience aeronautics and kinetic energy in real-time.
- The Robotics Centre: A dedicated hub for the future of automation. This zone will host workshops and demonstrations, training students in the tech that will run the 21st century.
Fueling the “Viksit Bharat” Spirit
This centre isn’t just about entertainment. It features Innovation Hubs and Activity Zones designed specifically for students to collaborate, experiment, and turn their creative sparks into practical projects.
By showcasing India’s achievements—including a Space Gallery featuring ISRO rocket models—the facility aims to foster a culture of “Jai Vigyan, Jai Anusandhan” (Hail Science, Hail Research).
“This world-class facility will promote Hyderabad as a hub for scientific innovation… enabling hands-on learning experiences for the youth of Telangana.” — Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy
Hyderabad has always been a city of history. Now, it’s officially becoming a city of the future. Whether you’re a student with a big idea or a curious local, the Science Experience Centre is set to be your new favorite destination.
