International Dolls Museum

The International Dolls Museum in Sector 23, Chandigarh was established in 1985 by Rotary Club of Chandigarh. It has been refurbished and is ready to receive young visitors once again after a massive face lift.
The people who travel out of Chandigarh are requested to bring in a small doll from the country they visit, especially having cultural/historical significance to that country, along with the details of the costume and other historical information which can be displayed.

From Open Hand to Golden Land

Direct flight to Dubai from Chandigarh would be a reality in a couple of months. Looking at the preparation that the Panjab government is making the international flights would be taking off soon from here. A great boon to all those Chandigarhians living, working and studying abroad, to fly in straight into their home from abroad.

Your Planet Needs You

Tomorrow, June 5, is the World Environment Day. How are you going to contribute to lessen the global warming? To start with UNEP has launched the campaign to plant 7 billion trees, one for every denizen of our planet earth, during the year. In this effort, many NGOs are joining in to contribute to this cause.
Environment Society of Chandigarh is launching a campaign to make people paint their roofs white which can effectively impact the heating of the planet.
Surya Education World would be distributing over 2000 plants in Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula, Ambala and Patiala to encourage people to plant trees. It is also seeking ideas from the people as to how they think they would contribute in saving our environment.
Various schools in the city are sharing the kind of planet they would like to live in future through their paintings and sketches.
It is a massive effort. Yet only we can bring about the change we desire...the kind of planet that we want to leave for our children. Let's join the mission.
