What is the Role of the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research in the Development of India?

Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) is an autonomous body established in 1942 for the development of scientific knowledge in India. It identifies natural resources and develops those resources for industrial development in the country.

Let’s discuss the big steps taken by this premier scientific institution to speed up the growth of scientific knowledge in the country.

CSIR owns and operates 38 laboratories; it has 39 outreach centers at different places; 3 innovation centers and 5 units to carry out the development work. It has a large workforce including, eminent scientists and professionals with great scientific knowledge.



Creation of an Institution….

CSIR established CSIR Fourth Paradigm Institute (CSIR-4PI) in the year 1988 to develop modeling approaches for the study of structure and development of complex systems. CSIR felt the need for a separate institution dedicated to developing mathematical modeling and computer-based simulations that could provide real help in scientific research.

Inventions….

CSIR is a leading institution in developing drugs, defense equipment, medical equipment for cancer screening, manufacturing airplanes, and much more. These inventions are unique in many ways like the institution is first in many inventions. These breakthroughs further paved the way for the development of scientific knowledge in the country.

Awards and Honors….

In 1958, CSIR announced an award Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology in India. It is an annual award given to Indian scientists doing a remarkable job in any scientific field. For example, the first award was given to Kariamanickam Srinivasa Krishnan for physical sciences.

Publication….

CSIR publishes 18 journals and 3 science magazines for students and people interested in increasing their scientific knowledge. It publishes magazines in English, Hindi, and Urdu languages. The publications are available for the common public on its website. It provides detailed information on its research through the publication.

Public Participation….

All the word done by CSIR encourages public to do their bit in increasing the scientific development of the country. For example, CSIR 4-PI runs short-term study programs for students of the science stream. Similarly, there are awards for people doing a commendable job in the field of earth, atmosphere & environment sciences.

Conclusion

India is doing fairly well in the field of space research, aerospace technology, mining, ocean science, food, chemicals, and everything that is in any way related to the field of science. But the biggest contribution of this premier institution is to encourage students to come forward and work for the development of the country.

In the year 1962, science and technology in India were not as advanced or ahead of their time. However, there was a lot of drive to become better than other countries. That is when India founded the Indian National Committee for Space Research.   This was when the space activities in the country were started. In the very same year, the Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station was opened near Thiruvananthapuram. Although these were great fats in Physical Sciences in India, they were not being utilised properly.  This was when the Indian government established the Indian Space Research organisation , better known as ISRO, in 1969.   Since there were too many organisations doing the same work, the government then constituted the Space Commission and opened a Department of Space . ISRO was later brought under the same department in 1972.   What Is The Purpose Of The Department Of Space? Department of Space & ISRO were mainly founded with the aim to promote development and the appl

If you want to go through the history of the Indian leather industry then you should start with the formation of the Central Leather Research Institute (CLRI) . Founded in 1948, CLRI is a premier institution of research and development that has achieved many milestones.      CLRI is an institution of repute that has produced many research papers and completed many patents. It came into being after independence but the ground for such an institute was already here. India has an advantage over others. It has the livestock that enables the country to take centerstage in leather production. But it became possible only after CLRI came into being. Let’s understand the work culture of CLRI  It is a constituent laboratory under the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research. It works like a lab where research work is conducted and it works on the development of leather tanning in India. If you go through the number of livestock available in the country and the amount of leather produced,
