With the Homi Bhabha National Institute, Mumbai, getting deemed university status, two of its constituents in Chennai - the Institute of Mathematical Sciences (IMSc) Chennai and the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalpakkam also received the same status.
The University Grants Commission decided to grant the status under the UGC Act to the HBNI- Mumbai, along with 10 of its constituent institutions.
With this status, the IMSc would be able to devise more educational and research programmes to graduate students and offer more graduate research and post doctoral research programmes.
The IMSc, founded by Alladi Ramakrishnan in 1962, is a national institution for fundamental research in the mathematical and physical sciences. Research at IMSc is supported by the Department of Atomic Energy, the Tamil Nadu government. Its faculty and members work primarily in the areas of Mathematics, Theoretical Computer Science and Theoretical Physics.
As part of its learning environment, the IMSc has a computational facility that contains India`s fastest academic computer - KABRU a 144-node (Xeon DP) Linux cluster. The super computer had reached a sustained performance of 1002.3 GFlops(reached on October 13 2004) of double precision arithmetic.
The IGCAR, the other constituent unit of the HMBI, and located at Kalpakkam, 80 km south of Chennai, conducts broad-based multi-disciplinary research and advanced engineering directed towards development of sodium-cooled fast breeder reactor technology in India. The centre already has academic ties with several Universities and individual colleges in the region that mutually benefits students and scientists of different groups in the IGCAR.
