UGC grants deemed university status to CSIR

Filed under:

In what could be a major boost to scientific education in India, University Grants Commission has in principle granted deemed university status to Council of Science and Industrial Research (CSIR), the world`s largest public funded research organisation.
The UGC in principle has granted deemed university status to CSIR which, with a large number of laboratories and field trial centres, would give a tremendous boost to research based education in all fields except atomic research, Science and Technology minister Kapil Sibal told

After completing the requirements laid down by UGC to get the formal university status, CSIR would function like a premier autonomous university giving first hand knowledge to students on the advancement of research in the fields of agriculture, health, energy, rural development, industry and defence, he said.
The CSIR, with a countrywide network of 40 laboratories and 80 field centres covering fundamental and applied R&D in all areas of science and technology barring atomic research, would open up a whole new world for the students having interest in scientific research, Sibal said.

CSIR had last year developed light weight transport aircraft `SARAS`. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had said, SARAS to me is not just an aircraft, it is a symbol of India`s determination to use its technological prowess to create products that will be not only globally competitive but will also benefit the country at large.
