The Nehru Planetarium in New Delhi is situated in the green surroundings of the Teen Murti House, earlier the official residence of India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru and now a museum in his memory. Conscious of the fact that an understanding of the spirit and method of science was crucial for children to become responsible citizens, Nehru liked every opportunity to be provided to them in this endeavor. In 1964, the Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Fund was set up to promote his ideas and subsequently it undertook to build the Nehru Planetarium with its primary aim being the promotion of astronomy education. Nehru Planetarium is now a wing of the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library.

  1. Nice post with lovely pictures. The Nehru Planetarium is constantly improvising and innovating programmes for its visitors which includes the live interactions and programs for visitors, students and amateur astronomers. Visitors should have information about Nehru Planetarium Delhi timings , entry fee , various sections etc .
