Vigyan Rail – Science Exhibition on wheels, was a unique concept in bringing India’s scientific heritage and recent achievements to the doorsteps of the people. The Science Exhibition on Wheels, which travelled across the country for about eight months, halting at 60 stations, was conceived, formulated and implemented by Vigyan Prasar jointly with the Ministry of Railways, and with the active support of the Department of Science and Technology. Vigyan Rail was a result of co-operation among 18 Departments/ Ministries of Government of India, engaged in different aspects of Science and Technology. Displayed in 12 coaches, the exhibits included panels depicting India’s achievements in the various fields of S&T, working models, hands-on activities, and multi-media shows. The exhibition drew huge crowds wherever it visited. This profusely illustrated book attempts to present a glimpse of the unique Science Exhibition on Wheels and recounts its momentous journey across the length and breadth of the country.
