Andar Ki Baat: Narendra Modi takes cabinet meeting of its ministers
  • 5 years ago
A recent meeting of the Union cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, gave approval to set up the India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO) in the Theni district of Tamil Nadu at an estimated cost of Rs 1,500crore, according to an official statement.

The project, considered to be the first biggest basic science experimental project in the country, aims at building a world class underground laboratory primarily to study neutrinos.

A giant 50, 000 tonne magnetized iron calorimeter detector will be kept under the laboratory to study the properties of neutrinos. It will help find the neutrino mass hierarchy.

Neutrinos are tiny electrically neutral particles, which cannot be broken into further smaller pieces. They are chargeless and are almost massless.
