Nehru Museum mulls fee hike, new courses after fire-safety crisis

Nehru Museum mulls fee hike, new courses after fire-safety crisis

The Nehru Children's Museum is a place where children take classes like painting, recitation, and dance.

Not long ago, the fire department said the museum needed to become safer.

The museum did not have enough money for the safety upgrades, which cost 50 lakh rupees.

So it closed down and moved classes online to keep around 900 children safe.

The people running the museum met with a government adviser and were promised help.

Now they want children to come back to the ground floor to finish the current semester.

Because some parents may not agree, online classes will continue at the same time.

To earn more money, the museum wants to charge higher fees for its classes.

It also wants to add new courses like robotics and digital painting.

The teachers were told about these plans, and the museum wants to keep them involved.
