The Pushpa Gujral Science City or PGSC is located on outskirts of Kapurthala[2] on the Kapurthala-Jalandhar road. The foundation stone of PGSC was laid by the then prime minister Inder Kumar Gujral on 17 October 1997. The science city has been named after mother of Inder Kumar Gujral[3] and jointly funded by Government of India and the Punjab Government.[4] The first director general[5] of PGSC, Raghbir Singh Khandpur has been credited with having conceptualised this centre.[citation needed]
