Kids at Ambedkar Park to have a Go at Science


If things go as planned, the Ambedkar Park here will soon have a full – fledged Science park inside its compound.

An amount of Rupees 15 lakhs has already been sanctioned by the State Tourism Department for the Science Park, which is being set up with a goal to educate the children and provide them infotainment.

“We are planning to launch the Science Park to attract more visitors as well as to educate the kids. The project has already been sanctioned by the Tourism Department and the funds for the same have been allotted. The entire region of the Ambedkar Park will not be renovated. Only a portion will be used to set up the park,” said Paravoor Municipal Chairman, Valsala Prasanna Kumar.

The Ambedkar Park which was inaugurated in August 2000, by the then, Chief Minister – EK Nayanar, has been attracting crowds from across the state.

Along with the Science Park, another ambitious project is also in the pipeline – a Fantasy Park. The proposal has already been put forth by the officials. Though the project is yet to be sanctioned, it is estimated that an amount of Rupees 1 crore will be required for the same. Raghu ram from Chennai will be the master designer of the Fantasy Park. The funds for are expected to be generated from the MLA fund and the funds from the Center.

Once the Science Park project is implemented, the Ambedkar Park will undergo a drastic change in its outlook. The broken infrastructure and the toy trains will be replaced a a art of the new project.
“There is a need to renovate the park. I hope the visitors will find it highly beneficial to have the Science Park. Major efforts are being taken for the success of the Fantasy Park, which would be an eco- friendly initiative,” said Beena Sasidharan, counselor of the Paravoor Municipality. A small butterfly park is also a part of the project.

“It’s highly appreciable that the Ambedkar Park is being renovated. It will b highly beneficial for the children in this region,” said Geetha, a regular visitor to the park.
