Recently, the Chief Minister of Haryana inaugurated the Astronomy Lab established at Government Model Sanskriti Senior Secondary School and Government Girls Senior Secondary School, Bhiwani. Through this lab, students will be able to understand the secrets of the universe.

In the first phase in the district, Government Model Sanskriti School and Government Girls Senior Secondary School at the district headquarters and Astronomy Lab at Government Model Sanskriti School in Bawani Khera town have been established.
Kalpana Chawla Astronomy Lab in Government Model Sanskriti School and Astronomy Lab in the name of Dr. Vikram Sarabhai in Government Girls Senior Secondary School has been set up.
In this astronomy lab, children will be able to see the Earth's atmosphere, moon and stars through telescopes. Children will learn new things about twinkling stars. There is a plan to provide the facility of four telescopes in one lab.
In the Astronomy Lab, kids will find answers to every question about the universe. For this, there will be 25 working models in the lab, so that children will be able to know why the color of the sky is blue? Why do stars shine? Where do the moon and the sun hide? Or why does the sky appear black at night?
There are three main objectives of setting up a lab-
- To bring curiosity amongst all students in 21st century India through practical knowledge of space.
- To develop scientific temper in all the children from a young age.
- Through the telescope, the other planets of the solar system have to be seen closely and their pictures are captured in the camera.
