Several exhibits at the Global Science Festival Kerala (GSFK) starting Monday at the Bio 360 Life Sciences Park, Thonnackal, could eventually go on permanent display - possibly in a future science city project - once the month-long mega event is over in mid-February.
The organisers of GSFK, Amuseum ArtScience and the Kerala State Council for Science, Technology and Environment (KSCSTE), have submitted a proposal in this regard to the government. Finance Minister K. N. Balagopal, who chairs the organising committee, said here on Sunday that a decision is yet to be taken on it.
M. Chandradathan, Mentor (Science) to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said the proposal involves keeping some of the exhibits on permanent display in a small area, possibly two acres of land, which could eventually develop into a science city project. “The layout of the installations have been planned in such a manner so that a portion of the expo can be retained,” he said.
