The Goa government has launched the "Taare Zameen Par" mobile 360-degree digital planetarium and STEM education outreach programme, aimed at promoting science among students through immersive learning.

The initiative, rolled out on April 15 by Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, will be implemented across rural schools.

Sawant said the programme seeks to move beyond textbook-based education and foster scientific temperament, curiosity and critical thinking among students. The outreach features an inflatable mobile planetarium equipped with advanced digital projection systems, offering interactive astronomy sessions. "It also includes hands-on STEM kits to encourage learning by doing approach, enabling students to better understand science and technology concepts through practical exposure," Sawant added.
