Accompanied by my teachers and peers, I went on a Field Trip to the Subir Raha Oil Museum on 12th April 2023. To educate people about oil and gas, the conservation of fossil fuels and environmental issues, Subir Raha Oil Museum ONGC was inaugurated by Former President A P J Abdul Kalam on the occasion of the golden jubilee of ONGC in 2005.
The field trip’s main goal was to provide background knowledge regarding the nation’s oil and gas production and extraction. The kids learned a lot about India’s largest oil and gas exploration and production company as a result of the field trip.
The oil and gas value chain are shown at various points throughout the museum. The museum is organized into many parts and includes two floors. The history of oil is presented in the first section. This section includes illustrations of various types of crude oil and charts outlining its properties at various temperatures. The second section provides depth to the extraction of crude oil from various ways like sea-bed extraction. This is also demonstrated with practical methods and diagrams showing the earth’s crust while extraction. The third section includes the refining of this crude oil and how it can be created into its magnificent produce like Petroleum, Kerosene, and others. There were also many practical games for students to play to make them learn about chemical formulas in a fun manner. The museum also features an audio-visual room that chronicles ONGC’s history as a documentary about the establishment of oil platforms and the Indian oil industry.
Over 20 films about exploration and the oil industry are included in the museum’s collection, and even the theatre is popular with tourists. The oil museum has established itself on Uttarakhand’s tourist map in less than ten years, and also acts as an informative place for student field trips, Scientists and geologists alike.
“It’s just 7:00 in the morning,” I murmured as a sharp sound echoed through the crisp winter air. The biting cold engulfed me, but the day demanded my attention. I had to wake up and get dressed quickly, as I had been selected as a Data Scientist intern at the
When I return from boarding school in Delhi, I initiate clothing donation drives because helping the community means everything. My first-hand experience shows that making small efforts leads to significant changes as I walk through my local community to gather items people no longer use, but others can benefit from.
Thank you to Mukalbari Model TE School and Principal Ms. Aparupa Phukan for enthusiastically welcoming STEMspire! Having interactive discussions with bright, curious minds from Grades 9 and 10, I could see the excitement in their eyes—the eagerness to explore the world of STEM education and its endless possibilities—something that I,
