It will house the country’s geological wealth in one location

• From dinosaur fossils to pre-human skulls, India is home to a vast treasury of geological and palaeontological specimens that contain a wealth of scientific information about the planet and its history.
• So, to better conserve this prehistoric heritage, the government is planning to house them in one place — an ‘Earth Museum’.
• This museum will be modelled on the American Museum of Natural History, or the Smithsonian museum in the U.S.
• The museum, which will be set up as a public-private partnership.
