CSIR

3. DESCRIPTION
 It established in 1942, is an autonomous body and
the largest research and development (R&D)
organization in India.
 It runs 37 laboratories and 39 field stations or
extension centers spread across the nation, with a
collective staff of over 17000.
 Although it is mainly funded by the Ministry of
Science and Technology, it operates as an
autonomous body registered under the Registration
of Societies Act of 1860.

4. DESCRIPTION
 The research and development activities of CSIR includes
 aerospace engineering,
 Structural engineering,
 ocean sciences,
 Life sciences,
 metallurgy,
 chemicals,
 mining,
 food,
 petroleum,
 leather, and
 environment.

5. DESCRIPTION
 In late 2007, the Minister of Science and
Technology, Kapil Sibal admitted, in a Question
Hour session of the Parliament, that CSIR has
developed 1,376
technologies/knowledgebase during the last
decade of the 20th century

6. VISION
 “Pursue science which strives for global
impact, technology that enables innovation –
driven industry and nurture trans-
disciplinary leadership thereby catalyzing
inclusive economic development for the
people of India”

7. MISSION
 To provide Scientific Industrial Research and
development that maximizes Economic,
Environmental and Societal benefits for the
people of India.
 CSIR’s renewed mission is inspired by the
remarks made by President of CSIR Society
to CSIR to build”..the new CSIR that will
fulfill the aspirations of modern India…”
 So CSIR’s mission is simply – to build a new
CSIR for a new India.

8. MISSION
The changed scenario has inspired CSIR
towards:
 Science and Engineering leadership;
 Innovative technology solutions;
 Open innovation and crown sourcing;
 Nurturing talent in transdisciplinary areas;
 Science based entrepreneurship; and
 Socio-economic transformation through S&T
intervention

9. CSIR ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE

10. HISTORY
 1930s- the need for establishing research organizations
for the development of natural resources and new
industries in India began to emerge. Eminent citizens
such as C. V. Raman, Lt. Col. Seymour Sewell and J. C.
Ghosh had proposed the creation of an advisory board of
scientific research.
 1933- Gregory(editor of Nature, was among the first
people who officially reported to the British
Government)submitted to Samuel Hoare, Secretary of
State for India, regarding the need of scientific
organization similar to the DSIR in Britain.

11. HISTORY
 1934- Viceroy Willingdon replied Hoare saying, "The
creation of a Department of Scientific and Industrial
Research in India to promote the application of research
to natural resources does not appear to be necessary."
 The Indian DSIR was rejected and offered to create an
Industrial Intelligence and Research Bureau, which came
into operation.
 1935 -under the Indian Stores Department. The Bureau's
limited resources (with a budget of INR 1.0 lakh per
annum) made it impossible to initiate major research
and industrial activities as had hoped for. It was mainly
concerned with testing and quality control.

12. HISTORY
 1939,-the bureau was proposed to be abolished.
Arguably, Arcot Ramaswamy Mudaliar became the
most instrumental in the creation of CSIR in India,
he recommended that the Bureau should be
terminated, not as a measure of economy, but to
make room for a Board of Scientific and Industrial
Research, which should be endowed with greater
resources and wider objectives.
 1940- the Board of Scientific and Industrial Research
(BSIR) was created for a period of two years.

13. HISTORY
 By the end of 1940, about 80 researchers were engaged,
of whom one-quarter was directly employed. Major
achievements of BSIR included development of the
techniques for the purification
of Baluchistansulphur anti-gas cloth manufacture,
vegetable oil blends as fuel and lubricants, plastic
packing cases for army boots and ammunition, dyes for
uniforms and the preparation of vitamins, and the
invention of a pyrethrum emulsifier and cream.
 1941- Bhatnagar persuaded the government to set up an
Industrial Research Utilisation Committee (IRUC) for
translating results into application. The government then
agreed to make a separate fund out of
the royalties received from industry for further
investment into industrial research.

14. HISTORY
 1942-Then the constitution of the Council of
Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) as an
autonomous body was prepared under Mudaliar and
Bhatnagar. The BSIR and IRUC were incorporated
into the advisory bodies to the governing body of the
CSIR.
 1943- the governing body of CSIR approved the
proposal of Bhatnagar, though the initiative of Prime
Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, to establish five national
laboratories — the National Chemical Laboratory,
the National Physical Laboratory, the Fuel Research
Station, and the Glass and Ceramics Research
Institute.

15. CSIR ACHIEVEMENTS
 Developed India's first synthetic drug, Methaqualone in 1950.
 Developed first Indian tractor Swaraj in 1967 completely
based on indigenous know-how.
 Achieved the first breakthrough of flowering of
Bamboo within weeks as against twenty years in nature.
 First to analyze genetic diversity of the indigenous Andaman's
tribes and to establish their origin out of Africa 60,000 years
ago.
 Developed the first transgenic Drosophila model for drug
screening for cancer in humans.
 First to introduce DNA fingerprinting in India.
 Helped India to be the first pioneer investor under the United
Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

16. CSIR ACHIEVEMENTS
 Invented, once a week non-steroidal family planning pill Saheli and
non-steroidal herbal pill for asthma called Asmon.
 Designed India's first ever parallel processing computer Flosolver.
 Partnered more than 50,000 companies with turnover ranging from
