In this context, as part of the PM Shri Educational Tour Program, students of Class 12 Science from both shifts at PM Shri Kendriya Vidyalaya Muzaffarpur, along with some teachers, were taken to the Indira Gandhi Planetarium in Patna on October 4, 2024. The Principal instructed all students to follow safety rules and comply with the orders of the teachers before departing by bus at 9 AM. Everyone arrived at the Indira Gandhi Planetarium at 11 AM. At 12 PM, a short play was organized at the planetarium, where everyone witnessed space events through 3D presentations. This proved to be a golden opportunity for students to learn about astronomical events. Afterward, students and teachers explored the planetarium and gained several new insights. Subsequently, everyone had a light snack and departed for Muzaffarpur by bus at 4 PM. They returned to school with wonderful memories and a wealth of new knowledge.
