DETAILS OF TATA INSTITUTE OF FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH

 

The Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) was established in 1945 at the initiative of Dr. Homi Jehangir Bhabha. It has a modest beginning at the Kenilworth site on Peddar Road, Mumbai in 1945 and later moved to the Royal Yacht Club, Apollo Bunder until the buildings at the Navy Nagar Campus in South Bombay were ready in 1962. This Institute is proud to had produced many of the finest scientists of India who had been involved in seminal research in fields ranging from Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Physics and Science Education as well as some aspects of Public Health.

 

There are at present about 400 scientists in the Institute working in various disciplines grouped into three major schools : the School of Mathematics, the School of Natural Sciences and the School of Technology and Computer Science. The Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education at Deonar, Mumbai, The National Centre for Radio Astrophysics at Pune and The National Centre for Biological Sciences at Bangalore also form a part of TIFR activities.

 

The School of Mathematics has research interests in areas like Algebra, Algebraic Geometry, Lie Groups, Lie Algebras, Algebraic Groups, Representation Theory and Quantum Groups, Theory of Numbers, Combinatorics, Differential Geometry and Topology, Real and Complex Analysis, Ergodic Theory, Probability Theory on Groups and Mathematical Physics.

 

The School of Mathematics has a Centre in Bangalore dedicated to the study of Applied Mathematics where mathematicians work in the field of Differential Equations, Harmonic Analysis, Numerical Analysis and Probability Theory.

 

Scientists in the School of Physics work mainly in the field of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Chemical Physics, Computer Science, Condensed Matter Physics, High Energy Physics, Molecular Biology, Nuclear and Atomatic Physics, Radio Astronomy and Theoretical Physics. The Institute is also activity involved in the field of educational research with a special emphasis on school level education as well as some aspects of public health.

 

The Institute has several field stations and research facilities in different parts of the country. A Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope, the largest of its kind in the world, is operational at Khodad near Narayangaon, north of Pune and a large equatorially mounted cylindrical radio telescope and a high energy cosmic ray laboratory are operational at Udhagamandalam in Tamilnadu. High Energy Cosmic ray and Gamma Ray laboratories are operated from Pachamarhi in Madhya Pradesh. TIFR runs a National Ballon Facility in Hyderabad which is among the best in the world and has the geographical advantage of being close to the geomagnetic equator. At Gauribidanur, TIFR scientists have built an extremely sensitive balance to study the difference between gravitational and inertial mass. A Heavy Ion Low Energy Accelerator capable of accelerating particles to moderate energies for studying heavy ion atomic interactions and a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Facility to study complex molecules are also housed in TIFR. The Institute’s Dental Section has been actively involved in investigations pertaining to carcinogenic effects of tobacco.

 

In addition to the research laboratories, the facilities of TIFR include :-

 

A large library in India with more than one hundred thousand books and journals in its collection. The library is fully computarized and provides microfilm, microfiche, audio – video and compact disk reading facilities.

 

A powerful central computing facility together with individually assigned personal computers and workstations for computation, control and monitoring of experiments and data analysis.

 

A network connected to the world grid through high speed communication networks.

 

A liquid helium facility for very low temperature experimental studies.

 

A large workshop and glass blowing section for manufacturing high precision instruments. Pioneering work done in the Institute in several areas has resulted in the establishment of new National organizations such as the Society for Applied Microwave Electronics Engineering and Research (SAMEER) and the National Centre for Software Technology (NCST). In addition, several projects for which technology was developed at the Institute, were transferred to the Industry and other departments of the Government of India.

 

The first step in the founding of TIFR was a letter written in 1943 by Homi Bhabha to J.R.D. Tata. In this historic letter, Bhabha expressed his vision for a fundamental research institute in India, and sought JRD’s support for its creation. Encouraged by JRD, Bhabha sent a formal proposal to Sir Sorab Saklatvala, Chairman of the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust, which resulted in support from the Trust and from the Government of Bombay Presidency. The Institute started functioning on 1st June, 1945, at the Cosmic Ray Research Unit which had earlier been set up for Dr. Bhabha, on the campus of the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, after his return from England.

 

Within six months, it was shifted to Kenilworth, a bungalow on Pedder Road in Mumbai which belonged to Homi Bhabha’s aunt. This was in fact the place where Homi Bhabha was born in 1909. Kenilworth proved to be too small for the growing Institute, which was soon shifted to a new location vacated by the Royal Bombay Yacht Club, near the Gateway of India, in 1949.

 

Over the next decade it moved gradually to its present sea-front location in Navy Nagar. The Institute was almost fully functional in its new 15 acre campus when the buildings were formally inaugurated by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru on 15th January, 1962.

 

The physical growth of the Institute took place side-by-side with its financial, administrative and of course scientific development. At Kenilworth, it was largely funded by grants from the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) for specific research projects. Around the time of its move to the Yacht Club premises, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Scientific Research of the Government of India began to support the Institute with block grants. In the meanwhile the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), which in 1953 declared its recognition of TIFR as “The only laboratory of the Commission for fundamental research in atomic science”.

 

In 1955, the Government of India signed a new Tripartite Agreement with the Government of Bombay Presidency and the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust, as a result of which the Institute acquired its present official designation as the “National Centre of the Government of India for Advanced Study and Fundamental Research in Nuclear Science and Mathematics”. This agreement envisaged extensive financial support from the Government of India, and today the Government provides most of the funding for the Institute.

 

Subsequently, a new set of Rules and Bye-laws was framed for the general administration and management of the Institute. It was prescribed that the Council of Management of the Institute deal whit overall policy matters, in particular with the annual budget, appointments at senior levels, new research programmes and the like. Within the framework of policy laid down by the Council, the Director was given the authority to run the Institute as he felt appropriate. He was to be assisted by two Faculties, one for the School of Physics and the other for the School of Mathematics, as well as by a number of Committees to deal with various academic matters and general facilities of the Institute.

 

The Institute extended the scope of its scientific activities at a rapid rate. Initially, research was carried out in the areas of Cosmic Rays and High Energy Physics, Theoretical Physics and Mathematics. These are the areas in which Bhabha had a direct interest. During this period, TIFR also helped the Atomic Energy Commission by setting up electronics groups for atomic energy work.

 

The activities steadily expanded to include fields such as nuclear Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, Computer Science and Geophysics and later Molecular Biology, Radio Astronomy and Science Education. The school of Mathematics was started around 1950 by Prof. K. Chandrasekharan and K. G. Ramanathan. Subsequently, new research fields of topical importance were added.

 

On the technological side, TIFR pioneered activity in the field of Computer Technology by designing India’s first computer (TIFRAC). Groups working in other emerging fields such as Accelerators, Microwave Communications, Software Technology, Semiconductor Technology and Educational Research were also set up the Institute. Some of these later became the nucleus of dedicated organisations.

 

Thus from its modest beginning within the Cosmic Ray Research Unit at Bangalore. TIFR grew to its present size by continually diversifying and opening up research activities in the frontier areas of science.

 

The Institute celebrated its Golden Jubilee year in 1996. A number of conferences and public lectures by distinguished scientists took place during the year.

 

Starting in 1997, some administrative restructuring was carried out, as a result of which the Institute now has three Schools : the School of Mathematics, the School of Natural Sciences and the School of Technology and Computer Sciences. The School of Natural Sciences comprises research activities in all areas of Physics, Chemistry and Biology. It contains within a total of seven Departments : Chemical Sciences, Biological Sciences, Theoretical Physics, Astronomy and Astrophysics, Condensed Matter Physics and Materials Science, Nuclear, Atomic Physics and High Energy Physics.

 

After the tragic loss of Dr. Bhabha, Professor M.G.K. Menon took over as Director of TIFR, until he became Secretary, Department of Electronics in 1975. He was succeded by Professor B. V. Sreekantan, who held office until his retirement in 1987. For the next 10 years, Professor B. V. Sreekantan, who held office until his retirement in 1987. For the next 10 years, Professor Virendra Singh was the Director of TIFR. The present Director, Professor S. S. Jha, took over in 1997.
