Past few decades’ harnessed huge science and innovation research in every field. The present research is a case study of Gujarat Science City, which clearly undermines gender role in science activities and its propagation in museums. There is a close connection between existing public policies and fostering gender equity. Socio-cultural settings in India assume male as earner to livelihood and female as care-giver. Existing policies tend to speak about gender equity, which is not reflected in demonstrations of pictures/objects among male scientist in museum spaces, especially in Gujarat Science City. Therefore, this study examines scientific objects and female equity presumptions. It focuses on the male provider model, social significance and practices for female orientation correspondence. Moreover, it deals with gender orientation in socio-cultural contexts which can be brought to national discussions.
