During his visit, he explored the distinctive features of the Science Museum in London. The Chief Minister expressed his intention to model the upcoming Science City in Patna after the London Science Museum, incorporating modern technologies to facilitate students in understanding fundamental scientific principles easily.
The construction of the Patna Science City near Moinul Haq Stadium in Rajendra Nagar is underway.
